Five years |
|
Artist:David Bowie |
|
Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing |
|
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in |
|
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying |
|
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying |
|
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies |
|
I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s |
|
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare |
|
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there |
|
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people |
|
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people |
|
I never thought I'd need so many people |
|
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children |
|
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them |
|
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac |
|
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that |
|
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long |
|
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think |
|
you knew you were in this song |
|
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor |
|
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there |
|
Your face, your race, the way that you talk |
|
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk |
|
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes |
|
Five years, what a surprise |
|
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot |
|
Five years, that's all we've got |
|
We've got five years, what a surprise |
|
Five years, stuck on my eyes |
|
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot |
|
Five years, that's all we've got |
|
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes |
|
Five years, what a surprise |
|
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot |
|
Five years, that's all we've got |
|
We've got five years, what a surprise |
|
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes |
|
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot |
|
Five years, that's all we've got |
|
Five years |
