Five Years (Live)

Five Years (Live) - David Bowie (大衛·鮑伊)

Pushing thru the market

Square

So many mothers sighing

News had just come over

We have five years left to sigh

News guy wept and told us

Earth is really dying

Cried so much his face was wet

Then I knew he was not lying

I heard telephones opera house favourite melodies

I saw toys boys electric irons and T V 's

My brain hurt like a warehouse

No room in there

Had to cram so many things

To store everything in there

All the fat-skinny people all the tall-short people

All the somebody people all the nobody people

I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head

Hit some tiny children

If the black hadn't a-pulled her off I think she would have killed them

A soldier with a broken arm fixed his stare to the wheel of a Cadillac

A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest

And a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour

Drinking milk shakes cold and long

Smiling and waving and looking so fine

Don't think you knew you were in this song

And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor

And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there

Your face your race the way that you talk

I kiss you you're beautiful I want you to walk

We've got five years stuck on my eyes

Five years what a surprise

Five years my brain hurts a lot

Five years that's all we've got

We've got five years stuck on my eyes

Five years what a surprise

Five years my brain hurts a lot

Five years that's all we've got

Five years

Five years

Five years

Five years
