oh! you pretty things
Singer:bowie, david
put another log on the fire for me
i've made some breakfast and coffee
look out my window what do i see
and a hand reaching down to me
all the nightmares came today
and it looks as though they're here to stay
i think about a world to come
where the books were found by the golden ones
by a puzzled man who questioned
all the strangers came today
and it looks as though they're here to stay
don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane
don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane
look out at your children
see their faces in golden rays
don't kid yourself they belong to you
they're the start of the coming race
the earth is a bitch we've finished our news
homo sapiens have outgrown their use
all the strangers came today
and it looks as though they're here to stay
don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane
don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane
