"Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" lyrics

Easy Star All-Stars & Macy Gray Lyrics

"Rock 'n' Roll Suicide"
(originally by David Bowie)

Time takes a cigarette
Puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger
Then another finger
Then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling
It lingers, then you forget
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

You're too old to lose it
Too young to choose it
And the clock waits so patiently on your song
You walk past a café
But you don't eat when you've lived too long
Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

Chev brakes are snarling
As you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead, so you hurry home
Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let the milk float ride your mind
You're so natural, religiously unkind

Oh no, love, you're not alone (No, you're not alone)
You're watching yourself but you're too unfair (No, you're not alone)
You got your head all tangled up (No, you're not alone)
But if I could only make you care (No, you're not alone)

Oh no, love, you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, and I'll help you with the pain

You're not alone (You're not alone)
Just turn on with me
You're not alone (You're not alone)
Let's turn on and be not alone (Wonderful)
Just give me your hands
'Cause you're wonderful (Wonderful)
Gimme your hands
'Cause you're wonderful (Wonderful)
Oh, yeah, yeah, give me your hands
