Lyrics David Bowie

David Bowie

The Motel

For we're living

in a safety zone

Don't be holding back from me

We're living from hour to hour down here

And we'll take it when we can

It's a kind of living which recognises

The death of the odourless man

When nothing is vanity nothing's too slow

It's not Eden but it's no sham

There is no hell

There is no shame

There is no hell

Like an old hell

There is no hell

And it's lights up, boys

Lights up boys

Explosion falls upon deaf ears

While we're swimming in a sea of sham

Living in the shadow of vanity

A complex fashion for a simple man

And there is no hell

And there is no shame

And there is no hell

Like an old hell

There is no hell

And the silence flies

on its brief flight

A razor sharp crap shoot affair

And we light up our lives

And there's no more of me exploding you

Re-exposing you

Like everybody do

Re-exploding you

I don't know what to use

Make somebody move

Me exploding

Me exploding you
