Diamond Dogs
David Bowie
As they pulled you
out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump
and your ten inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was
Tod Browning's freak you was
Crawling down the alley
on your hands and knee
I'm sure you're not protected,
for it's plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers
and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will,
mannequins with kill appeal
(Will they come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they come?)
Well, she's come, been and gone.
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl,
they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl,
they call them the Diamond Dogs
The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevator's broke,
so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below,
oh Tarzie, go man go
Meets his little hussey
with his ghost town approach
Her face her saddest feature
but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent,
something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralysed,
Diamond Dogs are civilised
(Will they come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they come?)
Well, she's come, been and gone.
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl,
they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl,
they call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo,
call them the Diamond Dogs
call them the Diamond Dogs
Ooooooooh
In the year of the scavenger,
season of the *****
They sashay on the boardwalk,
scurry to the ditch
Just another future song,
lonely little kitsch
(There's gonna be sirens)
Try and wake up tomorrow
(Will they come?)
I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they come?)
Oh baby, come unto me
(Will they come?)
Well, she's come, been and gone.
Come out of the garden, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl,
they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl,
they call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo,
call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo,
Call them the Diamond Dogs
...
Keep cool!
Diamond Dogs rule
OK?
Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Beware of the Diamond Dogs
