letra de five years (live 1978) - david bowie

[verse 1]
pushing through the market square
so many mothers sighing
news had just come over
we had five years left to sighing
news guy wept and told us
earth was really dying
cried so much that his face was wet
then i knew he wasn’t lying
i heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
i saw toys and boys, and electric irons and tvs
my brain hurt like a warehouse
it had no room to spare
i had to cram so many things to store
everything in there
and all the fat, skinny people
and all the tall, short people
all the somebody people
all the n0body people
i never thought i’d need so many people

[verse 2]
a girl my age went off her head
hit some tiny children
if the black hadn’t pulled her off
i think she would have k!lled them
a soldier with a broken arm
fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
a cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
and a queer threw up at the sight of that
and i think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
drinking milk shakes cold and long
smiling and waving and looking so fine
don’t think you knew you were in this song
it was cold and it rained, and i felt like an actor
and i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there
your face, your race
the way that you talk
i kiss you, you’re beautiful
i want you to walk

[outro]
we’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, what a surprise
five years, my brain hurts a lot
five years, that’s all we’ve got
we’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
five years, what a surprise
we’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
five years, that’s all we’ve got
five years
five years
five years

[audience applause]
