How Lucky You Are Lyrics - David Bowie

When you speak you speak to me 

When you sleep you sleep by me 

When you wake you wake with me 

When you walk you follow two steps behind in life 

Shadows stalking, ever grasping sinking for a need 

It wasn't love it was the fix of never wanting me 

Now I'm gone, you're tossing and you turning in your sleep 

That's the name of the game, of the game, of the game 

Cry, Miss Peculiar 

You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone 

I was the monkey on your back 

Take a look at how lucky you are

When you speak you speak to me 

When you sleep you sleep by me 

When you wake you wake with me 

When you walk you follow two steps behind 

Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar 

You'll cry all the more, now I'm gone 

I was the monkey on your back 

Take a look at how lucky you are 

Some days are heaven, I will not deny 

Probing the daylight cascading the skyline 

Tripping and diving and losing it all 

Back came the night time living for more 

Cry, cry, Miss Peculiar 

You'll cry all the more, now that I'm gone 

I was the devil monkey on your back 

Take a look at how lucky you are
