David Bowie - We Are The Dead Lyrics
Something kind of hit me todayI looked at you and wondered if you saw things my wayPeople will hold us to blameIt hit me today, it hit me todayWere taking it hard all the timeWhy dont we pass it by?Just reply, youve changed your mindWere fighting with the eyes of the blindTaking it hard, taking it hardYet nowWe feel that we are paper, choking on you nightlyThey tell me son, we want you, be elusive, but dont walk farFor were breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kinFor youre dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasyYoure just an ally of the leecherLocator for the virgin king, but I love you in your *****-me pumpsAnd your nimble dress that trailsOh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the railsBecause of all weve seen, because of all weve saidWe are the deadOne thing kind of touched me todayI looked at you and counted all the times we had laidPressing our love through the nightKnowing its right, knowing its rightNow Im hoping someone will careLiving on the breath of a hope to be sharedTrusting on the sons of our loveThat someone will care, someone will careBut nowWere todays scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrows double featureHeavens on the pillow, its silence competes with hellIts a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tellAnd the streets are full of press menBent on getting hung and buriedAnd the legendary curtains are drawn round baby bankruptWho sucks you while youre sleepingIts the theater of financiersCount them, fifty round a tableWhite and dressed to killOh caress yourself, my juicyFor my hands have all but witheredOh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairsBecause of all weve seen, because of all weve saidWe are the deadWe are the deadWe are the dead
