(Uh uh ah) Let me put my arms around your head
(Dom do ah) Gee, it's hot, let's go to bed
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright
(Dom do ah) Pour me out another phone
(Dom do ah) I'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone
And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in Jagger's eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw
His name was always buddy (got got do ah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got do ah)
And turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him (got got do ah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got do ah)
It's a drive-in Saturday
Jung the foreman prayed at work (dom do ah)
Neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation with this fall out saturation
(Bah dom bah) cursing at the astronette
(Dom do ah) who stands in steel by his cabinet
He's crashing out with Sylvian
The bureau supply for aging men
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Once had raised a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw
His name was always buddy (got got do ah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got do ah)
And turn her face away
She's uncertain if she likes him (got got do ah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got do ah)

When Mr Bowie was a younger soul, he listened to the tough street rock of America. He was the first to cover The Velvet Underground and was well versed in New York Dolls attitude. He even references Silvain Silvain (of the Dolls) in this piece. His good pal Iggy Pop even fronted The Stooges and thus this conglomerate of influences regurgitated a lyrical miasma of well-endowed multiplicity. The future is rewritten by Bowie and it is a dog's breakfast of multifaceted beauty to savor lushly as you snore
Rumor has it that Angie Bowie helped in the strayed logic of the words [and the nightmarish closure of insanity, as well], but we can't really trust a color that refuses any light on it, can we ... Another rumor would suggest the taking of certain substances that affect the mind played a role, but that would suggest believing Ms Bowie also
Sometimes it's best to just cast a net and do the fandango until something very frightening fills your silhouette and spits in your eye ... baby
