David Bowie - I Can't Read Lyrics

David Bowie Lyrics

"I Can't Read"
(from "The Ice Storm" soundtrack)

I can't read and I can't write down
I don't know a book from countdown
I don't care which shadow gets me
All I've got is someone's face

Can I see the family smile?
Can I reach tomorrow?
Can I walk a missing mile?
Can I feel?
Can I please?

Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just cough, catch the chase
Switch the channel watch the police car

I can't reach it anymore
I just sit back and ignore
Cause I just can't seem to get it right, get it right
I can't reach it
I can't reach it
