We Are the Dead (2016 Remaster)

We Are the Dead (2016 Remaster) - David Bowie

Something kind of hit me today

I looked at you and wondered if you saw things my way

People will hold us to blame

It hit me today it hit me today

We're taking it hard all the time

Why don't we pass it by

Just reply you've changed your mind

We're fighting with the eyes of the blind

Taking it hard taking it hard

Yet now

We feel that we are papers choking on you nightly

They tell me son we want you be elusive but don't walk far

For we're breaking in the new boys deceive your next of kin

For you're dancing where the dogs decay defecating ecstasy

You're just an ally of the leecher

Locator for the virgin king but I love you in your f**k me pumps

And your nimble dress that trails

Oh dress yourself my urchin one for I hear them on the rails

Because of all we've seen because of all we've said

We are the dead

One thing kind of touched me today

I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid

Pressing our love through the night

Knowing it's right knowing it's right

Now I'm hoping some one will care

Living on the breath of a hope to be shared

Trusting on the sons of our love

That someone will care someone will care

But now

We're today's scrambled creatures locked in tomorrow's double feature

Heaven's on the pillow it's silence competes with hell

It's a twenty-four hour service guaranteed to make you tell

And the streets are full of press men

Bent on getting hung and buried

And the legendary curtains are drawn around baby bankrupt

Who sucks you while you're sleeping

It's the theater of financiers

Count them fifty around a table

White and dressed to kill

Oh caress yourself my juicy

For my hands have all but withered

Oh dress yourself my urchin one for I hear them on the stairs

Because of all we've seen because of all we've said

We are the dead

We are the dead

We are the dead
