Lyrics David Bowie

David Bowie

Time

Time, he's waiting in the wings

He speaks of senseless things

His script is you and me, boy

Time, he flexes like a whore

Falls wanking to the floor

His trick is you and me, boy

Time, in qualudes and red wine

Demanding billy dolls

And other friends of mine, take your time

The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain

Incestuous and vain and many other last names

Oh well I look at my watch, it says 9:25 and I think

Oh God I'm still alive

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

You are not a victim

You just scream with boredom

You are not evicting time

Chimes, goddamn, you're looking old

You'll freeze and catch a cold

'Cause you've left your coat behind, take your time

Breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful

I had so many dreams, I had so many breakthroughs

But you, my love were kind but love has left you dreamless

The door to dreams was closed, your park was real and greenless

Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness

But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

We should be on by now

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

Yes time
