This song always gets me... "keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn..." We've torn up the meaning of the word "love" but we need to give it one more chance, even it "dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night" such as the homeless and sick... but "this is our last dance." We're all under pressure but we need to still care for those people and ourselves.
@infiniteentropy In many performances, particularly the Freddie tribute, Bowie changes this lyric to "Keep coming up for air, but it's so slashed and torn.." I wonder if this is a function of his memory troubles, or deliberate. I hope it's a mistake, because this has gotta be one of the most beautiful and impactful lyrics of all time!

It's Freddie's song. It was destined to be good :)
