Cat People (Putting Out Fire) Songtext
von David Bowie

See these eyes, so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
It′s been so long

Feel my blood enraged
It's just the fear of loosing you
Don′t you know my name?
Well, you've been so long

And I've been putting out fire
With gasoline

See these eyes, so red
Red like jungle burning bright
Those who feel me near
Pull the blinds and change their minds
It′s been so long

Still this pulsing night
A plague I call a heartbeat
Just be still with me
You wouldn′t believe what I've been through


You′ve been so long
Well, it's been so long

And I′ve been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out the fire
With gasoline

See these tears, so blue
An ageless heart that can never mend
These tears can never dry
A judgement made can never bend

See these eyes, so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Just be still with me
You wouldn't believe what I′ve been through

You've been so long
Well, it's been so long

And I′ve been putting out the fire with gasoline
Putting out fire
With gasoline


(Been so long)
(Been so long) well, it′s been so long
(Been so long) I've been putting out fire
(Been so long) and it′s been so long
(Been so long) been putting out fire
(Been so long) it's been so long
(Been so long) been putting out fire
(Been so long)

Been so long (so long, so long)
Been so long (so long, so long)
Been putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Been putting out fire (been so long, so long, so long)
Been so long

(Been so long, so long, so long)
(Been so long, so long, so long) been putting out fire
(Been so long, so long, so long) been putting out fire
(Been so long, so long, so long) been so long
Been so long (so long, so long)
Been so long (so long, so long)
