about

For a brief relationship - she died of an overdose a little while after we parted.

lyrics

SHERYL COME DOWN

Popping pills in the corner of that old back room
Two moths caught in the headlight of lust
There is nothing that we can’t do tonight
Desire will take what it must.

Sheryl come down again…

Lips collide in the back seat of the taxi cab
Who cares where we’re going, the driver just drives
Bodies entwine in the dark and empty room
We’re holding on for our lives.

Sheryl come down again…

I see a dirty needle and a dirty spoon
Stained in the candlelight
Why did you have to come and go so soon?
There’s no rest for me tonight.

Sheryl come down…
