Sweet child of nothingness how you`re gonna rise?
You`re looking up from way down under into indifferent eyes
The hand that reaches out to help will not be there when it takes what it wants and leaves you
Doubled up in pain to make it if you can.

Sweet child of nothingness you`re looking good today
All the men turn and wonder what kind of games you play
Try to catch a rich man`s smile 
Go search for love, girl, find some guy to keep you in the most expensive cage 
then, see if that`s the end
