Black Tie White Noise (Here Come Da Jazz) Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Getting my facts from a Benetton ad

2 Lookin' through African eyes

3 Lit by the glare of an LA. fire

4 (Black tie, white noise)

5 I've got a face, not just my race

6 Bang, bang, I've got you babe

7 Putting on the black tie

8 Cranking out the white noise

9 Sun comes up and the man goes down

10 Woman comes again

11 Just an hour or so to be safe from fear

12 (Black tie, white noise)

13 Then we jump through hoops

14 We're divisible now, just disappear

15 Putting on the black tie

16 Cranking out the white noise

17 We reach out over race and hold each other's hands

18 Then die in the flames singing 'We shall overcome'

19 Whoa, what's going on?

20 (There'll be some blood no doubt about it)

21 But we'll come through don't doubt it

22 (I look into your eyes and I know I won't kill you)

23 I look into your eyes and I know you won't kill me

24 You won't kill me, you won't kill me, no

25 But I look into your eyes and I wonder sometimes

26 Putting on the black tie

27 Cranking out the white noise

28 Oh Lord.just let him see me

29 Lord, Lord yeah, let him hear me

30 Let him call me brother

31 Let him put his arms around me

32 Let him put his hands together

33 Reach out over race and hold each other's hands

34 Walk through the night thinking we are the world

35 Whoa, what's going on?

36 (There'll be some blood no doubt about it)

37 We should come through don't doubt it

38 (I looked into your eyes and I know I won't kill you)

39 And I turn my back for I know you won't kill me

40 You won't kill me, yeah, you won't kill me, no

41 But I wonder why, yes, I wonder why sometimes

42 Putting on the black tie

43 Cranking out the white noise

44 They'll show us how to break the rules

45 But never how to make the rules

46 Reduce us down to witless punks

47 (Black tie, white noise)

48 Fascist cries both black and white

49 Who's got the blood, who's got the gun

50 Putting on the black tie

51 Cranking out the white noise

52 (Ooh, yeah)

53 Cranking out

54 (To the [Incomprehensible])

55 Cranking out

56 (Ooh yeah)

57 Cranking out the white noise

58 (Black tie, white noise)

59 (We be yeah)

60 Cranking out

61 (Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo)

62 Cranking out

63 Putting on the black tie

64 Cranking out the white noise

65 (Just a fool)

66 Cranking out

67 (Just a fool)

68 Cranking out

69 (Just a fool)

70 Cranking out the white noise

71 (Black tie, white noise)

72 (Just a fool)

73 Cranking out

74 (Just a fool)

75 Cranking out

76 (Just a fool)
