i'll take you there

Singer:bowie, david

today

today is the 1st of may

everything around us

everything a lie

your heart's beating fast

as we race through the dark

past the really good people

who do what they're told

what will be my name

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

who will i become

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

sophie and lev are running away

these are the days

the days of gloom

lev can't smile and sophie can't sing

a mile to the future

where tomorrow is king

what will be my name

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

who will i become

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

i don't need to know

know where you are

only that you are

safe in this world

then i'll be content

to get on with my life

eat

drink and sleep

look up at the stars

what will be my name

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

who will i become

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

what will be my name

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there

who will i become

in the usa?

hold my hand and

i'll take you there
