Lowdown

I never thought that I could feel so lowdown
I always used to wear
a funny face
I thought I always had to let my hair down
to be an asset to the
human race
but now I find myself in deep despair - I'm
cold and
afraid

Somebody help me I'm falling
I'm calling your name
Dear Elaine,
Elaine...

I never doubted I was born a winner
and winning always was a
piece of cake
I realise that I'm a sheer beginner
I'm lost and I don't know
which turn to take
but now I find myself in deep despair - I'm
cold and
afraid

Somebody help me I'm falling
I'm calling your name
Dear Elaine,
Elaine...

And if I'd call and there would be no answer
No-one reacting to
the sounds I make
An empty stage and a forgotten dancer
Oh, in the end I
know
my heart would surely break

I never thought that I could feel so
lowdown
I always used to wear a funny face
I thought I always had to let my
hair down
to be an asset to the human race

Elaine...
