Alternative Candidate Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain

2 Inside every young pair of pants there's a mountain

3 Inside every mother's eyes is Tommy Tinkrem's bed

4 Inside every candidate waits a grateful dead

5 I make it a thing, when I'm on my own to relieve myself

6 I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself

7 I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased with myself

8 Yeah, and pretend I'm walking home

9 I took it so bad, I sat in the correction room

10 Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon

11 Well, I ain't gonna suck no radar wing

12 Because inside this tin is tin

13 Would you like to techno-plate 'cause I'm your candidate, oh yeah

14 It's a matter of life

15 And the way you walk, you've got a BrylCream queen

16 It's a matter of tact

17 In the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean

18 A matter of fact

19 That a cock ain't a cock on a twelve inch screen

20 So I'll pretend I'm walking home

21 You don't have to scream a lot to keep an age in tune

22 You don't have to scream a lot to predict monsoons

23 You don't have to paint my contact black

24 Now I've hustled a pair of jeans

25 Do I have to give your money back when I'm the Fuhrerling?

26 I'll make you a deal

27 I'll say I came from Earth and my tongue is taped

28 I'll make you a deal

29 You can get your kicks on the candidate

30 I'll make you a deal

31 For your future's sake, I'm the candidate

32 Lets pretend we're walking home

33 Uh-huh, uhhh

34 I'm the candidate

35 Make way for the candidate

36 Vote now for the candidate
