God Knows I'm Good Lyrics - Space Oddity - David Bowie

I was walking through the counters of a national concern 

And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder 

And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean 

As the merchandise exchanged their money roared 

And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak 

Into the paper bag at her side 

And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed 

So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind 

Crying, "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good 

God may look the other way today 

God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good 

God may look the other way today" 

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag 

The perspiration trickled down her forehead 

And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder 

She was led away bewildered and amazed 

In her head the pounding cash machines were shrieking on the counters 

As her escort asked her softly for her name 

And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady 

Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor 

Crying, "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good 

Surely God won't look the other way 

God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good 

Surely God won't look the other way, hey"
