Blackout - 2017 Remaster Songtext
von David Bowie

Oh you, you walk on past
Your lips cut a smile on your face
(Your scalding face) to the cage, to the cage
She was a beauty in a cage

Too, too high a price
To drink rotting wine from your hands
(Your fearful hands) get me to a doctor′s, I've been told
Someone′s back in town the chips are down
I just cut and blackout
I'm under Japanese influence and my honor's at stake

The weather′s grim, ice on the cages
Me, I′m Robin Hood and I puff on my cigarette
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming

If you don't stay tonight
I will take that plane tonight
I′ve nothing to lose, nothing to gain
I'll kiss you in the rain


Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
Kiss you in the rain (kiss you in the rain)
In the rain (in the rain)
Get me to the doctor

Get me off the streets
(Get some protection)
Get me on my feet
(Get some direction)
Hot air gets me into a blackout

Oh, get me off the streets
Get some protection
Oh, get me on my feet
(Give me some direction)

Oh, get me off the streets
Get some protection
Oh, get me on my feet
(Give me some direction)

Oh, get me off the streets
Get me some direction
Oh, get me on my feet
(Give me some direction)


Get me off the streets
Get me some protection
Get me to my feet
(Give me some direction)
