Five Years

　　Five years

　　Artist:David Bowie

　　Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing

　　News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in

　　News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying

　　Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying

　　I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies

　　I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s

　　My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare

　　I had to cram so many things to store everything in there

　　And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people

　　And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people

　　I never thought I'd need so many people

　　A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children

　　If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them

　　A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac

　　A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

　　I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long

　　Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think

　　you knew you were in this song

　　And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor

　　And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there

　　Your face, your race, the way that you talk

　　I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

　　We've got five years, stuck on my eyes

　　Five years, what a surprise

　　We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

　　Five years, that's all we've got

　　We've got five years, what a surprise

　　Five years, stuck on my eyes

　　We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

　　Five years, that's all we've got

　　We've got five years, stuck on my eyes

　　Five years, what a surprise

　　We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

　　Five years, that's all we've got

　　We've got five years, what a surprise

　　We've got five years, stuck on my eyes

　　We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot

　　Five years, that's all we've got

　　Five years
