DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Blackout

"Blackout"



Oh you, you walk on past

Your lips cut a smile

on your face

Your scalding face

To the cage, to the cage

She was a beauty in a cage



Too, too high a price

To drink rotting wine from your hands

Your fearful hands

Get me to a doctor's I've been told

Someone's back in town

the chips are down

I just cut and blackout

I'm under Japanese influence

And my honour's at stake



The weather's grim, ice on the cages

Me, I'm Robin Hood

and I puff on my cigarette

Panthers are steaming,

stalking, screaming



If you don't stay tonight

I will take that plane tonight

I've nothing to lose,

nothing to gain

I'll kiss you in the rain

Kiss you in the rain

Kiss you in the rain

In the rain

Get me to the doctor



Get me off the streets

(get some protection)

Get me on my feet

(get some direction)

Hot air gets me into a blackout

Oh, get me off the streets

Get some protection

Oh get me on my feet (wo-ooh!)



While the streets block off

Getting some skin exposure to the blackout

(get some protection)

Get me on my feet

(get some direction, wo-ooh!)

Oh get me on my feet

Get me off the streets

(get some protection)
