Battle For Britain (the Letter) Lyrics - Earthling - David Bowie

My, my, the time do fly 

When it's in another pair of hands 

And a loser I will be 

For I've never been a winner in my life 

I got used to stressing pain 

I used the sucker pills to pity for the self 

Oh, it's the animal in me 

But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf 

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff 

It's the rain before the storm 

On a better day, I'll take you by the hand 

And I'll walk you through the doors

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff 

It's the rain before the storm 

Don't you let my letter get you down 

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you 

My, my, but time do fly 

When it's in another pair of pants 

And illusion I will be 

For I've never been a sinner, la di da 

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff 

It's the rain before the storm 

Don't you let my letter get you down 

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down 

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you 

Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down 

Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you 

Down, down, down, down, down, down 

Down, down, down, down, down, down 

Down, down, down, down, down, down
