               Walking home at 7:30
               Past the creatures life's forgotten
               She don't look nobody in the eye no more
               Queuing up her nose is bleeding
               Early morning papers screaming
               Don't look up dear
               News is out
               They've all gone crazy

               She's on fire
               She whispers suicide
               She's slow dissolving
               She's every song that ever made you lonely

               She don't wanna be so cruel
               But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted eyes
               She don't wanna be so cruel
               But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted coloured eyes

               There's no love when you're all wasted out
               There's no love when you're all wasted out
               There's no love when you're all wasted out

               Staying in to kill a new day
               Burning letters from her Ma
               She lives with splinters
               Throwing up to keep her weight down
               A butterfly goes by her window
               A whole new world cries out to greet her
               She don't notice
               In the darkness of her old room

               She's on fire
               She walks a suicide
               You know she's holding
               That picture of the world exploding

               She's on fire
               All tangled up and wired
               She's always holding
               She's only ever going to leave you lonely

               She don't wanna be so cruel
               But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted eyes
               She don't wanna be so cruel
               But it's oh so cruel when you look in those wasted coloured eyes

               Oh yeah
               No she don't mean to hurt you
               But she's dying right in front of you tonight
               Oh yeah
               Oh yeah

               There's no love when you're all wasted out
               There's no love when you're all wasted out
               There's no love when you're all wasted out
               There's no love when you're all wasted out
               You're all wasted out
               You're all wasted out
               You're all wasted out


This is apparently about a woman Pad had a love affair with. She read news on British TV, and lives in Florida. Apparently.
