DAVID BOWIE - The next day lyrics

rate me

‘’Look into my eyes’’, he tells her

‘’I’m gonna say goodbye’’,says she

During across the day and to nobody else

All the day she’s thinking of his love, yeah

They’re whipping to the streets when nobody’s there

The groomless and the baying crowd right there

They can get enough of that doomsday song

They can’t get enough of it all

Listen

Listen to the heart, he tells her

Be patience, take the stone, just one of them

He drags her to the river’s bank in the car

Their soggy paper bodies wash in the dark

The priest still be hilled on the 99 degrade

How could wear this, for that pleasure of that man

Here I am, not quite dying

My body left to rot in a hollow tree

It’s branches forming shadows on the gallows for me

And the next day, and the next, and another day

Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases

They chase him through the alleys

Chase him down the steps

They’re crawling through the mud and they chant for his death

And drag him to feed of the purple-headed reek bloom

First they give you everything that you want

Then they take back everything that you have

They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees

They can work with satan while they dress like the saints

They know God exists for the devil from the first

And they scream my name loud down into the worlds below

Here I am, not quite dying

My body left to rot in a hollow tree

It’s branches forming shadows on the gallows for me

And the next day, and the next, and another day

Here I am, not quite dying

My body left to rot in a hollow tree

It’s branches forming shadows on the gallows for me

And the next day, and the next, and another day.
