David Bowie Heathen Lyrics
1.Sunday

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Nothing remains
We could run when the rain slows
Look for the cars or signs of life
Where the heat goes
Look for the drifters
We should crawl under the bracken
Look for the shafts of light on the road
Where the heat goes

Everything has changed
For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed
For in truth, it's the beginning of an end
And nothing has changed
And everything has changed

(In your fear)
.................In your fear
..........................(seek only peace)
Of what we have become
...(In you fear,..............seek only love)
..........................................Take to the fire
(In your fear)
.............Now we must burn
...........................(seek only peace)
All that we are
....(In you fear, seek only love)
...............................Rise together
................................... ..(In your fear)
Through these clouds
(in your fear)
As on wings
(As on wings)

Oo, ho
Oo, ho

This is the trip
And this the business we take
This is our number
All my trials
Lord will be remembered
Everything has changed


2.Cactus

Lyrics:Frack Black
Music:Frack Black

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore

I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissin' and i miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead

Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead

So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine

D-A-V-I-D

So, sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore

Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that i had just something you wore


3.Slip Away

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What'sa matter with you
C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-o

Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing
Oo-o


4.Slow Burn

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Here shall we live in this terrible town
Where the price for our eyes shall squeeze them tight like a
fist
And the walls shall have eyes
And the doors shall have ears
But we'll dance in the dark
And they'll play with our lives

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Turning us round and round and round
But who are we
So small in times such as these
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

Oh, these are the days
These are the strangest of all
These are the nights
These are the darkest to fall

But who knows?
Echoes in tenement halls
Who knows?
Though the years snare them all

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Twirling us round and round and upside down
There's fear overhead
There's fear overground
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Turning us round and round and round
And here are we
At the center of it all
Slow Burn
Slow Burn
Slow Burn


5.Afraid

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

I wish I was smarter
I got so lost on the shore
I wish I was taller
Things really matter to me

But I put my face in tomorrow
I believe we're not alone
I believe in Beatles
I believe my little soul has grown
And I'm still so afraid
Yes, I'm still so afraid
Yea, I'm still so afraid on my own
On my own

What made my life so wonderful?
What made me feel so bad?
I used to wake up the ocean
I used to walk on clouds

If I put faith in medication
If I can smile a crooked smile
If I can talk on television
If I can walk an empty mile
Then I won't feel afraid
No, I won't feel afraid
I won't be
Be afraid
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore


6.I've Been Waiting for You

Lyrics:Neil Young
Music:Neil Young

(I've been looking, I've been looking)
(I've been looking, I've been looking)

I've been looking
For a woman
To save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with a feeling
of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now

A woman with a feeling
Losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be
Be tomorrow

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now


7.I Would Be Your Slave

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

3, 4

Walking in the snowy street
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent park
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave

Do you sleep in quietude?
Do you walk in peace?
Do you laugh out loud at me?
No one else that is free
Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave

I don't sit around and wait
I don't care for them
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I picture laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give me peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave

I don't sit and wait
I don't care for them
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand
I would give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave


8.I Took a Trip on a Gemini Spaceship

Lyrics:Norman Carl Odam
Music:Norman Carl Odam

I took a trip on a gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I passed through the shadow of Jupiter
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And boy, I really felt blue

Two or three flying saucers
Parked under the stars
The winding stream
Moon shining down
On some little town
And with each beam
The same old dream

I took a trip on a gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you
I pulled down my sun visor
Boy, I really felt blue

You jumped into your Gemini
I jumped into mine
We'll orbit the moon
For just one time
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Will you hold hands
With me in the moonlight

I took a trip in a gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you
I took, I took a walk in space
Boy, I really felt blue

Well, I peeked through the crack
And I looked way back
The stardust trail
Leading back to you
What did I do
What could I do
Yes what did I do
Well

I thought about you
I thought about you
Took a trip on a gemeni spacecraft
Thought about you


9.5:15 the Angels Have Gone

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

5:15
I'm changing trains
This little town
Let me down
This foreign rain
Brings me down
5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone
No ticket
I'm jumping tracks
I'm changing towns

We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore you

5:15
All of my life
Angels have gone
I'm changing trains
Angels like them
Thin on the ground
All of my life
All legs and wings
Shrinks in the ice
5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone

We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore you

Wrong station
All of my life
Forever I will remember


10.Everyone Says 'Hi'

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Said you took a big trip
They said you moved away
Happened oh, so quietly
They say

Shoulda took a picture
Something I could keep
Buy a little frame
Something cheap
For you

Everyone says hi

Said you sailed a big ship
Said you sailed away
Didn't know the right thing
To say

I'd love to get a letter
Like to know what's what
Hope the weather's good
And it's not too hot
For you

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
Everyone says
Don't stay in a sad place
Where they don't care how you are
Everyone says hi

If the money is lousy
You can always come home
We can do the old things
We can do all the bad things
If the food gets you leery
You can always phone
We could do all the good things
We could do it, we could do it, we could do it
Don't stay in a bad place
Where they don't care how you are

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And the girl next door
(Everyone says hi)
And the guy upstairs
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And your mum and dad
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And your big fat dog
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi


11.Better Future

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Please don't tear this world asunder
Please take back this fear were under
I deamnd a better future
Or I might just stop wanting you
I might just stop wanting you

Please make sure we get tomorrow
All that's plane and all the sorrow
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop needing you
I might just stop needing you

Give my children sunny smile
Give them moon and cloudless sky
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you

We talk, we talk to you
When we walk, we walk to you
From factory to field
How many tears must fall
Down there below
Nothing is moving
Oo-o

I might just stop wanting you
I might just stop needing you
I might just stop loving you
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
For I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
For I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you
I demand a better future


12.Heathen(The Rays)

Lyrics:David Bowie
Music:David Bowie

Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Oo-o

Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
Oo-o
Oo-o

You say you'll leave me
And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
Oo-o
Oo-o
