You've Been Around Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Where's the pain in the violent night?

2 I'm depressed by the grin

3 I stay over many years

4 I should have thought of that

5 For the love of the money

6 Like a black-hearted violin

7 It's the nature of being

8 It's too many lonely nights

9 I can't tell bad from wrong

10 I can't pass you by

11 Two exchanging

12 You've been around

13 But you've changed me

14 Where the flesh meets the spirit world

15 Where the traffic is thin

16 I slip from a vacant view

17 I should have thought of that

18 And the sound of tomorrow

19 Like a black-hearted vile thing

20 Like the silence of tension

21 It's too many lonely nights

22 I can't tell good from bad

23 I can't pass you by

24 Too exchanging

25 You've been around

26 But you've changed me

27 You've been around

28 Can't pass you by

29 You've been around

30 But you've changed me

31 Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

32 Too exchanging

33 You've been around

34 but you've changed me

35 You've been around

36 can't pass you by
