bombers

david bowie

all clear wail the sirens

sunshine on the wasteland

old man sitting in the white sand

think we're in for a big surprise

right between the eyes

seemed a good idea

to drop a bomb on the wasteland here

only one man could be seen

and he was old and so serene

captain sat in his deck chair

and the red light flashed

beware

pilot felt quite big-time

as the bomb sailed through the air

well

they danced and sang

when the bang went bang

when the lights popped out

and the smoke began to clear

it was positively queer

all clear wail the sirens

sunshine on the wasteland

old man sitting in the white sand

think we're in for a big surprise

right between the eyes
