Conversation Piece Lyrics - David Bowie

I took this walk to ease my mind 

To find out what's gnawing at me 

Wouldn't think to look at me, 

That I've spent a lot of time in education 

It all seems so long ago 

I'm a thinker, not a talker 

I've no-one to talk to, anyway 

I can't see the road 

For the rain in my eyes 

Ahhh ...

I live above the grocers store, 

Owned by an austrian 

He often calls me down to eat 

And he jokes about his broken english, 

Tries to be a friend to me 

But for all my years of reading conversation, 

I stand without a word to say 

I can't see the bridge 

For the rain in my eye 

Ahhh... 

Photos 

And the world is full of life 

Full of folk who don't know me 

And they walk in twos or threes or mor 

While the light that shines above the grocer's store 

Investigates my face so rudely 

And my essays lying scattered on the floor 

Fulfill their needs just by being there 

And my hands shake, my head hurts, 

My voice sticks inside my throat 

I'm invisible and dumb, 

And no-one will recall me 

And I can't see the water 

Through the tears in my ey-y-yes
