Written：David Bowie/Reeves Gabrels
There are two versions of these lyrics, the alternate version being that used for the Ice Storm soundtrack.
I can't read and I can't write down
I don't know a book from countdown
I don't care which shadow gets me
All I've got is someone's face
Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just cough, catch the chase
Switch the channel watch the police car
CHORUS
I can't read shit anymore
I just sit back and ignore
I just can't get it right, can't get it right
I can't read shit I can't read shit
When you see a famous smile
No matter where you run your mile
To be right in that photograph
Andy where's my fifteen minutes
CHORUS
In the alternate version, the last two verses are interchanged,
and the lyrics for the new second verse become :
Can I see a family smile
I can I reach tomorrow
Can I walk a missing mile
Can I feel, Can I please?
