Golden Years (The Reflex revision) Songtext
von David Bowie

Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop

Don′t let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere (angel)
Come get up, my baby
Look at that sky, life′s begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up, my baby

There's my baby lost, that's all
Once I′m begging you, save her little soul
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Come get up, my baby

Last night, they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings (angel)
Come get up, my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up, my baby


I′ll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Come get up, my baby

Some of these days, and it won′t be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car 20 foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don′t break my heart
Doing alright, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon wish, upon day, upon day

I believe, oh Lord
I'll believe all the way
Come get up, my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

There′s my baby lost, that's all
Once I'm begging you, save her little soul
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Come get up, my baby

Don′t let me hear you say life′s taking you nowhere (angel)
Come get up, my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years


I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing′s gonna touch you in these golden years, gold

Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
Golden years, gold, whop-whop-whop
