Scary Monster Teenage Blues

Well, I walked in the pouring rain
Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die

Pretending it's a whiz kid world
Blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us

No athletic program, no discipline, no book
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
The vacuum created by the arrival of freedom

And no one will have seen
and no one will confess

Shout it while you're dancing
Another piece of teenage wildlife

Not Fade Away

Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar
Layin' on 'electric dreams
We've got five years, what a surprise

Of the mountain To the rooftops
With God given ass
This mellow black chick just put my spine out of place

Let the children use it
I'm back from Suffragette City
Praying to the light machine

You better hang on to yourself
Five years, that's all we've got
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling
Love is careless in its choosing
Oh don't lean on me man 'cause you ain't got time to check it

A brave son, who gave his life to see the slogan
I could make a transformation as a rock 'n' roll star
Then the loud sound did seem to fade

away

Hunky Dory Requiem

Look out you Rock 'n' rollers
You've left us up to our necks in it
Look out at your children

Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor
Things that happened in the past -
All nightmares came today

Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
Andy Warhol looks a scream
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow

In our wings that bark, sighing,
the swirl through the streets, ch-ch-changes
the writing's on the wall

Every time I though I'd got it made
Only happened in you mind
and my time was running wild

So I turned myself to face me
And of thoughts unkind
But I've never caught a glimpse

So I throw both bags down the hall
It don't feel like no bed at all
Is there life on Mars?

New Apartment

Your coordinates have changed.
Satellites twitch their antennas
confused by the new x and y.
After two more orbits
error messages cease.
They blink and purr
knowing
this is your
home.
