My Death Lyrics - David Bowie

1 My death waits like an old "roué"

2 So confident i'll go his way

3 Whistle to him and the passing time...

4 My death waits like a bible truth

5 At the funeral of my youth

6 We drank for that - and the passing time...

7 My death waits like a witch at night

8 As surely as our love is bright

9 Let's not think of that or the passing time...

10 But whatever lies behind the door

11 There is nothing much to do...

12 Angel or devil, I don't care

13 For in front of that door...there is you.

14 My death waits like a beggar blind

15 Who sees the world through an unlit mind

16 Throw him a dime for the passing time...

17 My death waits to allow my friends

18 A few good times before it ends

19 Let's not think about the passing time

20 My death waits there between your thighs

21 Your cool fingers will close my eyes

22 Let's not think about the passing time...

23 But what ever lies behind the door,

24 There is nothing much to do

25 Angel or devil I don't care

26 For in front of that door... There is you

27 My death waits there among the leaves

28 In magician's mysterious sleeves

29 Rabbits and dogs and the passing time...

30 My death waits there among the flowers

31 Where the blackest shadow cowers

32 Let's pick lilacs for the passing time...

33 My death waits there, in a double bed

34 Sails of oblivion at my head

35 Let's not think about the passing time...

36 But whatever lies behind the door

37 There is nothing much to do

38 Angel or devil...I don't care

39 For in front of that door

40 There is...me
