Teenage Wildlife Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Well, how come you only want tomorrow

2 With its promise of something hard to do

3 A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold

4 Blue skies above, sun on your arms strength in your stride

5 And hope in those squeaky clean eyes

6 You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go

7 Blinded with desire - I guess the season is on

8 So you trade by shadow boxing, search for the truth

9 But it's all, but it's all used up

10 Break open your million dollar weapon

11 And push your luck, still you push, still you push your luck

12 A broken nosed mogul are you

13 One of the new wave boys

14 Same old thing in brand new drag

15 Comes sweeping into view, oh-ooh

16 As ugly as a teenage millionaire

17 Pretending it's a whizz kid world

18 You'll take me aside, and say

19 "Well, David, what shall, shall I do?

20 They wait for me in the hallway"

21 I'll say "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"

22 But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner

23 And I feel like a group of one, no-no

24 They can't do this to me

25 I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

26 Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes

27 And the word is that the hunted one is out there on his own

28 And you're alone for maybe the last time

29 And you breathe for a long time

30 Then you howl like a wolf in a trap

31 And you daren't look behind

32 You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree

33 And look up one time at that vast blue sky

34 Scream out aloud as they shoot you down

35 No no, I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

36 I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

37 And no one will have seen and no one will confess

38 The fingerprints will prove that you couldn't pass the test

39 There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low

40 'I miss you he had to go'

41 Well each to his own, he was

42 Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh-oh-oh-ohh

43 Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh-oh-oh-ohh

44 Another piece of teenage wild...

45 Life

46 Wild - Life

47 Wild - Life

48 Wild - Life
