Ricochet Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe

2 Ricochet - ricochet

3 The world is on a corner waiting for jobs

4 Ricochet - ricochet

5 Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall

6 And who can bear to be forgotten

7 And who can bear to be forgotten

8 March of flowers, march of dimes

9 These are the prisons, these are the crimes

10 Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep

11 Dreaming of tramlines factories pieces of machinery

12 Mine shafts things like that

13 March of flowers, march of dimes

14 These are the prisons, these are the crimes

15 Sound of thunder, sound of gold

16 Sound of the devil breaking parole

17 Ricochet - it's not the end of the world

18 Sound of thunder, sound of gold

19 Sound of the devil breaking parole

20 Ricochet - ricochet

21 These are the prisons these are the crimes

22 Teaching life in a violent new way

23 Ricochet - ricochet

24 Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall

25 And who can bear to be forgotten

26 And who can bear to be forgotten

27 March of flowers, march of dimes

28 These are the prisons, these are the crimes

29 Early, before the sun, they struggle off to the gates

30 In their secret fearful places they see their lives

31 Unravelling before them

32 March of flowers - march of dimes

33 These are the prisons, these are the crimes

34 Sound of thunder, sound of gold

35 Sound of the devil breaking parole

36 Ricochet it's not the end of the world

37 That's when they get home, damp eyed and weary

38 They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests

39 Making unfulfillable promises

40 For who can bear to be forgotten
