I am alone tonight except for my good friend
Sitting in my hand and weeping
I'm not alone tonight, I'll turn the TV on
The vision I see is all blurred but I can hear the TV weeping

Oh, my belated decline
Crashing down, crashing down
Oh, my belated decline
Crashing down, crashing down

Friends and a family keep getting in touch
Sitting in this chair and rotting
How much longer must I alienate myself
Before they stop even trying to help me over, help me over?

Oh, my belated decline
Crashing down, crashing down
Oh, my belated decline
Crashing down, crashing down

Oh I'm in paradise, wedged between a bottle and no one
Oh I'm in paradise, wedged between a bottle and no one
Oh I'm in paradise, wedged between a bottle and no one
Oh I'm in paradise, wedged between a bottle and no one

Oh, my belated decline
Crashing down, crashing down
Oh, my belated decline
Crashing down, crashing down
