Life on the fast lane

She’s been here she’s been there

She’s seen it all you can tell

She’s no more in her twenties now

You can see she’s been around

She has danced with the flamingos in the tropics, she has danced with the alligators in Congo’s rivers of life

Her flamboyant flame attractracted suitors to her dirty dancing dance moves in Spain

She was really a rolling stone

Living for today without any care in the world got the better of her after one too many glasses at some age

Her flamboyant flame got exhausted with age

Back home nobody knew her

The village was old and rusty for her anyway

Now a safe place to hide and wether as her candle couldn’t burn any bright

When she couldn’t hold her liquor anymore she started blaming it all on her first handsome lover boy, why did she followed him around the world without making any home for herself

She knew he never loved her that much but loved the attention she was attracting

Even now he’s still in Spain dancing with a younger princess

It’s easy to forget about tomorrow when you are young and free

She never wanted his love but she loved him as her shadow beneath her wings while she was getting all the attention,

He was her safe Haven

Now who’s the shadow of her own young self now – a nobody?!!
