Like A Rocket Man
David Bowie
Like A Rocket Man by David Bowie Brilliant and very much under rated song from The Next Day Extras Album [Intro] [Verse 1] Little wendy cocaine stumbles up the hill to pain Nothing stops the go-to girl nothing takes the place of taking aim Little wendy’s out there shaking hips and cuckoo eyes Crazy drives that dizzy crowd Moonlight strokes the highlights in her hair [Chorus] She sells and moves and finds my hand And pulls me down and close so I can hardly stand As I lay like dead for her I’m fed into my head I’m led oh I am sand I’m crawling from the window crawling down the wall I’m happy screaming yes I am I’m jumping on her daisy chain I’m speeding through the dancehall like a rocket man [Verse 2] Now I wish today that yesterday was just tomorrow and I could squeeze her grabby hand Knowing that I never paid her for a gram She’s a drunken doxy off her trolly Sent before her time into this poxy world She’s not fit for anything but dealing it While heaven sings I have this girl She’s got me eating rice and beans I have no shape nor color I’m god’s lonely man I don’t want to die but I don’t want to live I’m speeding like a rocket man (Middle 8) [Outro] Like a rocket man Like a rocket man Like a rocket man
