Dead Against It Lyrics - David Bowie

1 And when she drowns

2 Within and in the fizzy gin, begins to sigh

3 "Good god" or "My" I cry and die and lie beside

4 She is the apple in my eye

5 She talked to God

6 I couldn't cope

7 Or'd hope eloped

8 A dope, she roped

9 This salty lie

10 And when she's dreaming, I believe

11 And when she's reading, I retreat

12 Can't believe her

13 Telling me she's dead again

14 Telling me she's dead against it

15 And deep my wound

16 Within for every second chance it was

17 thy-tore

18 From deep within, despite the rain, my words are worn

19 She loves to talk into the phone

20 No matter who

21 No matter when

22 No matter where

23 No better than the faulty line

24 And when she's dreaming, I believe

25 And when she's reading, I retreat

26 Can't believe her

27 Telling me she's dead again

28 Telling me she's dead against it
