[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo / streaking cathedral spires

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Something in the air / we smiled too fast / then can't think of a word to say

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

When the die is cast and you have no choice / we will run with dirty boys

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

So I'll spin while my lunatic lyric goes wrong / guess I'll put all my eggs in a postmodern song

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

White boys falling on the fires of night / (I wish you'd tell, I wish you'd tell)

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Right-wing dicks in their boiler suits / picking out who to annihilate

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Throw me tomorrow / everything's falling into place

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Julie / pretend for me / that I'm someone in your life

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Stinky weather, fat shaky hands / dopey morning doc, grumpy gnomes

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

But even in springtime / it's a rich slice of life / so send me a letter

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Blue Jean, I just met a girl called Blue Jean

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Swear to destroy the beast, stamping the ground / in their excitement for tomorrow

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

You want to fight / but I don't want to leave / or drift away

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

We came from the farmlands / to live in this city / we walked proud and lustful / in this resonant world

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

And the silence flies / on its brief flight / a razor sharp crap shoot affair

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

[Segue - Baby Grace (A Horrid Cassette)]

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

No-one needs anyone / they don't even just pretend / Johnny's in America

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Looking across at Richard Rogers / scheming dreams to blow both their minds

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Blood on video, video crime / video crime

[David Bowie Lyrics @ziggylyrics]

Think about the love thing / think about the sex thing / think about you holding me, taking me down
