like a rocket man

bowie, david

little wendy cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain

nothing stops the go-to girl

nothing takes the place of taking aim

little wendy's out there shaking hips and cuckoo eyes

crazy drives that dizzy crowd

moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair

she sells and moves and finds my hand

and pulls me down and close so i can hardly stand

as i lay like dead for her

i'm fed into my head i'm led

oh

i am sand

i'm crawling from the window

crawling down the wall

i'm happy screaming

yes

i am

i'm jumping on her daisy chain

i'm speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man

now i wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow and

i could squeeze her grabby hand

knowing that i never paid her for a gram

she's a drunken doxy off her trolly

sent before her time into this poxy world

she's not fit for anything but dealing it

while heaven sings

i have this girl

she's got me eating rice and beans

i have no shape nor color

i'm god's lonely man

i don't want to die but i don't want to live

i'm speeding like a rocket man

like a rocket man

like a rocket man

like a rocket man
