Duke wrote this about Ziggy. Or he would have, if he had thumbs.
lyrics
I know you’re sneaking in my bed
You’re leaving a scent oh
Kill my love, don’t think I know, I know
Where you hide the bones
Only alive by Orange Juice and Drugs
And even your love
Is too thin to wipe away the blood
But leaves a deep cut
You never need a cause for your effect
Too intense for intent
When you play prevent for your defense
You can hide your accent
Maybe I’m just too naive, I believe
I’ll have a drink and
Show your teeth make another scene
Like here comes the milkman
Hey! You only keep it because I want it, We both think that it’s worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all
You can keep it cause I don’t want it, We all know it’s not worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all
Blue grey eye, pearl white teeth
Oh hey, a picture of your diamond
What you think is permanent and real,
Is an event horizon
How did you think that this was going to end?
Forever home and a white fence?
You’ll never quell the voices in your head
And here comes the Milkman
Hey! You only keep it because I want it, We both think that it’s worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all
You can keep it cause I don’t want it, We all know it’s not worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all
How long can we put on
a show, the show
While timbers hide the rocks
Below, below
Dredging the past with net
In tow, in tow
With ashes for the wind
to blow, will blow
How does a house become
a home, this home
Is falling fallow to
The crow, the crows
Caught in your trap I’m a
Doe, John Doe
You keep I go you reap I sow
I know, I know, I know!
Hey! You only keep it because I want it, We both think that it’s worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all
You can keep it cause I don’t want it, We all know it’s not worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all
