David Bowie - Teenage Wildlife

Well, how come you only want tomorrow

With its promise of something hard to do

A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold

Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength your stride

And hope in those squeaky clean eyes

Youll get chilly receptions everywhere you go

Blinded with desire - I guess the season is on

So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truth

But its all, but its all used up

Break open your million dollar weapon

And push your luck, still you push, still you push your

Luck

A broken nosed mogul are you

One of the new wave boys

Same old thing in brand new drag

Comes sweeping into view, oh ho ho ho ho ho

As ugly as a teenage millionaire

Pretending its a whizz kid world

Youll take me aside, and say

"well, david, what shall I do?

They wait for me in the hallway"

Ill say "dont ask me, I dont know any hallways"

But they move in numbers and theyve got me in a corner

I feel like a group of one, no-no

They cant do this to me

Im not some piece of teenage wildlife

Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes

The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own

And youre alone for maybe the last time

And you breathe for a long time

Then you howl like a wolf in a trap

And you darent look behind

You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree

And look up one time at that vast blue sky

Scream out aloud as they shoot you down

No no, Im not a piece of teenage wildlife

Im not a piece of teenage wildlife

And no one will have seen and no one will confess

The fingerprints will prove that you coudnt pass the test

Therell be others on the line filing past, wholl whisper low

I miss you he really had to go

Well each to his own, he was

Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh oh

Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh oh

Another piece of teenage wild...

Wild

Wild
