Then C - B - E as per studio version
Seventeen, a nature's queen
You know what I mean
Twenty-one, a long one
You can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Shadow earth is closin' in
Above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin'
Down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by
The hands on your clock
Heavens don't just open
You can knock
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
With the darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul?
Just one sweet kiss
On your clay cold lips
A long sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Seventeen, a nature's queen
You know what I mean
Twenty-one, a long one
You can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
