You've come a long way, baby
You've come along
You come a long long long way down
You've come a long way
You've come a long way, baby
You've come along
You come a long long long way down
You've come a long way

Your father's a hero, he's doing time
He held a knife up to your throat when you were three
Your mother's a beauty at thirty nine
She took me downstairs for some dope and blew my mind

You've come a long way, baby
You've come along
You come a long long long way down
You've come a long way
You've come a long way, baby
You've come along
You come a long long long way down
You've come a long way

You've come a long way, now, baby
You've come a long way, now, baby
You've come a long way down
Down, down, down
Richard? You've come a long way, baby
Skin popping heroin under your desk
In New York City you lived in the closet and I wore the dress
In San Francisco you got my luggage but I got your gun
Back in Chicago was the last time we had any fun
Are you still alive? You still alive?
Are you still alive? Oh yeah
Are you still alive? Are you still alive?
