MUSIC IS LETHAL (Composed By : Lucio Battisti / English Lyrics : David Bowie) Mick Ronson
My friend myself Boredoms hero Prince of the alleys Stumble falling to a winsome table in search of wine
Mulatto hookers, Cocaine bookers, Troubled husbands Stolen freedoms, that only evening unfolds to shine
Through the twisting inn of screaming pleasure Two wet lips of infant leisure smiled Could I grasp at the stars? As they play your night blue hair
Sable eyes, Ebony thighs She shines forever Dancer be, dancing free She shines for me
So a masked man should mourn The passing of night time The long metal dirge We were prisoners no more Of the near fallen angels She will shine on for me
Let the panting begin Though the music is lethal Let the night take me in You know the daybreak shall win She will shine on forever He will shine on for me
While jeering waiters grope at your shoulders I drink your kisses Exquisite room, my charming tomb I see the man
With marble hands Your smooth pimp, piranha Cradles my swimming head Cracks his glass, into my face, I'm thrown away
And then I'm tossed a' bleeding out on the street And ask me, John do I have to drag you away? And I curse where I lay Have made me bow with thanks some day
Ten thousand engines skid unwielding Puncture my skin Bait and taunt For me to run, back to my rooms
Though the bad taste of sleep Clutching my pillow In anger I weep She will cry on my chest She will shine on forever She will shine on for me
Let the tempting begin Though the music is lethal Let the night take me in Though the daybreak shall win She will shine on forever She will shine on for me
