God Knows I'm Good Lyrics - David Bowie

1 I was walking through the counters of a national concern

2 And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder

3 And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean

4 As the merchandise exchanged and money roared

5 And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak

6 Into the paper bag at her side

7 And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed

8 So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind

9 Crying

10 God knows I'm good

11 God knows I'm good

12 God knows I'm good

13 God may look the other way today

14 God knows I'm good

15 God knows I'm good

16 God knows I'm good

17 God may look the other way today

18 Then she moved toward the exit, clutching tightly at her paper bag

19 Perspiration trickled down her forehead

20 And her heart, it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder

21 She was led away bewildered and amazed

22 Through her deafened ears, the cash machines were shrieking on the counter

23 As her escort asked her softly for her name

24 And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady

25 Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor

26 Crying

27 God knows I'm good

28 God knows I'm good

29 God knows I'm good

30 Surely God won't look the other way

31 God knows I'm good

32 God knows I'm good

33 God knows I'm good

34 Surely God won't look the other way

35 Hey
