David Bowie - We Are The Dead lyrics
Your rating:
I looked at you, wondered if you saw things my way People will hold us to blame It hit me today, it hit me today We're taking it hard all the time Why don't we pass it by? Just reply, you've changed your mind We're fighting with the eyes of a lie Taking it hard, taking it hard But now We feel that we are paid for, choking on you nightly They tell me "Son, we want you." Be elusive, but don't walk far For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin For your dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy You're just an ally of the leecher Procreator for the virgin king, but I love you in your funky pumps And your nimble dress betrayals Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said We are the dead One thing kind of touched me today I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid Pressing our love through the night Knowing it's right, knowing it's right Now I'm hoping some one will care Living on the breath of a hope to be shared Trusting on the sums of our love, that some one will care, some one will care But no...i..ho We're todays scrambled creatures locked in tomorrows double feature Heavens on the pillow, its silence competes with hell It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell And the streets are full of brass men, bent on getting hung and buried And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round baby bankrupt, who sucks you while you're sleeping It's the theater of financiers, count them, fifteen 'round the table, white and dressed to kill Oh, caress yourself, my juicy, for my hands have all but whithered Oh, dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said We are the dead We are dead We are the dead
