Diamond Dogs

Diamond Dogs

David Bowie

As they pulled you

out of the oxygen tent

You asked for the latest party

With your silicone ****

and your ten inch stump

Dressed like a priest you was

Tod Browning's freak you was

Crawling down the alley

on your hands and knee

I'm sure you're not protected,

for it's plain to see

The diamond dogs are poachers

and they hide behind trees

Hunt you to the ground they will,

mannequins with kill appeal

(Will they come?)

I'll keep a friend serene

(Will they come?)

Oh baby, come unto me

(Will they come?)

Well, she's come, been and gone.

Come out of the garden, baby

You'll catch your death in the fog

Young girl,

they call them the Diamond Dogs

Young girl,

they call them the Diamond Dogs

The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat

And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase

The elevator's broke,

so he slides down a rope

Onto the street below,

oh Tarzie, go man go

Meets his little hussey

with his ghost town approach

Her face her saddest feature

but she wears a Dali brooch

Sweetly reminiscent,

something mother used to bake

Wrecked up and paralysed,

Diamond Dogs are civilised

(Will they come?)

I'll keep a friend serene

(Will they come?)

Oh baby, come unto me

(Will they come?)

Well, she's come, been and gone.

Come out of the garden, baby

You'll catch your death in the fog

Young girl,

they call them the Diamond Dogs

Young girl,

they call them the Diamond Dogs

Woo-ooh-hoo-oo,

call them the Diamond Dogs

call them the Diamond Dogs

Ooooooooh

In the year of the scavenger,

season of the *****

They sashay on the boardwalk,

scurry to the ditch

Just another future song,

lonely little kitsch

(There's gonna be sirens)

Try and wake up tomorrow

(Will they come?)

I'll keep a friend serene

(Will they come?)

Oh baby, come unto me

(Will they come?)

Well, she's come, been and gone.

Come out of the garden, baby

You'll catch your death in the fog

Young girl,

they call them the Diamond Dogs

Young girl,

they call them the Diamond Dogs

Woo-ooh-hoo-oo,

call them the Diamond Dogs

Woo-ooh-hoo-oo,

Call them the Diamond Dogs

...

Keep cool!

Diamond Dogs rule

OK?

Beware of the Diamond Dogs

Beware of the Diamond Dogs

Beware of the Diamond Dogs
