Somebody Up There Likes Me (New York) Songtext
von David Bowie

He′s everybody's token, on everybody′s wall
Blessing all the papers, thanking one and all
Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies
Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall

He's so divine, his soul shines
Breaks the night, sleep tight
His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race
He says, "I'm somebody"

He′s got his eye on your soul
His hand on your heart
He says, "(Don′t hurry, baby)"
Somebody up there likes me

He's the savage son of the TV tube
Planets wrote the day was due
All the wisest men around
Predicted that a man was found


Who looked a lot like you and me
Everyone with sense could see
Nothing left his eye unmoved
Had the plan, he had to use

(Somebody) He′s so divine, his soul shines
(Somebody) Breaks the night, sleep tight
(Somebody up there)

(Somebody) His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race
(Somebody, somebody, somebody up there)

(Somebody) He's got his eye on your soul
His hand on your heart
He says, "Don′t hurry, baby"
Somebody up there (Somebody)

Somebody plays my song in tune
Makes me, makes me, makes me stronger for you, babe
Was a way when we were young, that
Any man was judged by what he'd done
But now you pick them on the screen
(What they look like) where they′ve been


Keep your eyes on your soul
And your hand on your heart
He says, (don't hurry, baby) "don't hurry, baby"
Somebody up there (somebody)
Please go

(And who are the people) that given time, (somebody, somebody) please go
Tell me, can they hold you under their spell
Or can they walk and hold you as well as a
Smile like Valentino could he sell you anything (somebody somebody)

Keep your eyes on your soul
Keep your hand on your heart
(Don′t hurry, baby) don′t hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me

(Somebody)
(Somebody)
(Somebody)
(Somebody, somebody)
(Somebody)
(Somebody)
(Somebody, somebody)

Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody, somebody)
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody)
Somebody (somebody, somebody)

Can't remember (somebody)
Peace so well (somebody)
Space to ramble (somebody, somebody)
Space to boogie

Soul shine (somebody)
So divine (somebody)
Somebody

(Somebody, oh, uh)

Soul shine
So divine
Somebody

(Somebody, oh, uh)

(Somebody, oh, uh)

Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
(Somebody, oh, uh) yeah

Get me man, place your man
Get me man, space your man (somebody, oh, uh)
Get me man, space your man
Soul shine (somebody, oh, uh)

Soul shine
So divine
Somebody (somebody, oh, uh)

Soul shine
So divine
Somebody
