Tired of My Life (demo for “It’s No Game”) Songtext
von David Bowie

I don′t know why but I'm tired of my mind
Pain is over me, overloading
I don′t know why but you're trying to be kind
Take off your silver smile, throw your head back
And cry (cry ah ah ah ah)

I don't believe but I′m trying to decide
Which game is best for me, which can I bare
You don′t perceive so I'm leading you away
Home where you′ve never been, non-returning
So cry (cry ah ah ah ah)


Throw a rock upon the road and it breaks into pieces
Shake a branch upon the snow, the sun is defeated
Pull the curtains on yesterday and it seems so much later
Put a bullet in my brain and I'll make all the papers

(Ooh ooh ooh oh oh)
(Ooh ooh ooh oh oh)
(Ooh ooh ooh oh oh)
(Ooh ooh ooh oh oh)

I don′t know why but I'm tired of my life
The clouds are in my eyes, overtaking
(Ooh ooh ooh oh oh)
