Five Years (2012 - Remaster) Lyrics - Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

Pushing through 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 

favorite melodies 

I saw boys 

toys 

electric irons and TV'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 

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 the queer threw up at the sight of that 

Photos 

I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor 

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 

Five years 

Five years
