down in the depths on the ninetieth floor

with a million neon rainbows burning below me

and a million blazing taxis raising a roar

here i sit

above the town

in my pet-paillated gown

down in the depths

of the ninetieth floor. while the crowds in all the nightclubs punish the parquet

and the bars are packed with couples calling for more

i'm deserted and depressed

in my regal-eagle nest

down in the depths

of the ninetieth floor. when the only one you wanted wants another

what's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore?

why

even the janitor's wife

has a perfectly good love life

and here i am

facing tomorrow

alone in my sorrow

down in the depths

of the ninetieth floor.
