Shoppong For Girls Lyrics - David Bowie

Between the dead ring ash of extreme defense 

The lonely groups of company boys 

Snapping pictures of scrawny limbs and toothy grins 

These are children riding naked on their tourist pals 

While the hollows that pass for eyes swell from withdrawal 

And he lies on a mattress in a rat infested room 

Talking 'bout his family and the cold back home 

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable 

Noone over here reads the papers pal 

'Tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable 

He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls

LATEST SONG: Fat Joe, Dre, Lil Wayne - 'Pullin' - LYRICS 

A small black someone jumps over the crazy white guard 

Cranking up the volume of a Michael Jackson song 

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable 

Noone over here reads the papers pal 

'Tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable 

He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls 

Where the frangipani scents the air 

She mouths a word that breaks his stare 

He grunts his reply in a garrulous croak 

"That's a mighty big word for a nine year old"

Between the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable 

Noone over here reads the papers pal 

'Tween the dull cold eyes and the mind unstable 

He's a clean trick and he's shopping for girls 

Shopping for girls, shopping for girls 

You gaze down into her eyes for a million miles 

You wanna give her a name and a clean rag doll
