The fallen Madonna stripped from the clothes she once wore
Gone from a saint to a whore
Beautiful girl, where were your eyes?
The fallen Madonna benched at the end of the line
In the sunken cathedral of time
Beautiful girl, caught in your own headlight

The fallen Madonna asleep at the wheel
Taking the long way home with a dream to kill
Singing "What do I know and who can I trust
When all I can call my own is the memory of all I've lost?"

I can't hold on anymore
I can't go it alone
I can't be hard anymore
I need somebody to hold me

The fallen Madonna, a flash in the night
And ain't it a long way down when you've climbed so high
Come on, give us your best, your perfect and strong
Come give your audience a bow, sing us one last song

I can't hold on anymore
I can't go it alone
I can't be hard anymore
I need somebody to hold

I can't hold on anymore
I can't go it alone
No, I can't be hard anymore
I need somebody to hold me
