DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Joe The Lion

"Joe The Lion"



Joe the lion

Went to the bar

A couple of drinks on the house an' he said

"Tell you who you are

if you nail me to my car"



Boy

Thanks for hesitating

This is the kiss off



Boy

Thanks for hesitating

You'll never know the real story

Just a couple of dreams

You get up and sleep



You can buy god it's Monday

Slither down the greasy pipe

So far so good no one saw you

Hobble over any freeway

You will be like your dreams tonight



You get up and sleep

You get up and sleep

Joe the lion

Made of iron



Joe the lion

Went to the bar

A couple of drinks on the house an' he was

A fortune teller he said

"Nail me to my car

and I'll tell you who you are" [x2]



You get up and sleep

The wind blows on your check

The day laughs in your face

Guess you'll buy a gun

You'll buy it secondhand

You'll get up and sleep



Joe the lion made of iron [repeat ad inf.]
