Aladdin Sane

Time - he's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy

Time - he flexes like a who
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy

Time - in quaaludes and red wine
Demanding billy dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time

The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain, and many other last names
I look at my watch it say 9:25 and i think "oh god i'm still alive"

We should be on by now
We should be on by now

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai

You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time

Chimes - goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
'cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time
Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams, i had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you dreamless
The door to dreams was closed. your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now, smiling through this darkness
But all i had to give was the guilt for dreaming

We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now
We should be on by now

Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Yes time

A small jean genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
Talking bout monroe and walking on snow white
New york's a go-go and everything tastes nice
Poor little greenie, woh ho
Get back home

The jean genie lives on his back
The jean genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean genie let yourself go!

Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She love him, she love him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little greenie, woh ho

The jean genie lives on his back
The jean genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean genie let yourself go oh

He's so simple minded he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
Loves to be loved, loves to be loved
Woh ho
Woh ho

Aoo jean genie lives on his back
The jean genie loves chimney stacks
And he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
The jean genie let yourself go! go

Go

Jean genie lives on his back
Jean genie loves chimney stacks
And he's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean genie let yourself go woh go
Go go

Ah oooh
He looked a lot like che guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
The only survivor of the national people's gang
Panic in detroit, i asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, i wish someone would phone
Panic in detroit (oh oh oh aahh, oh oh oh aahh)

He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
The police had warned of repercussions
They followed none too soon
A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive
Panic in detroit, i asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, i wish someone would phone
Panic in detroit (oh oh oh aahh, ah ah ah aahh)

Putting on some clothes i made my way to school
(oh oh oh)
And i found my teacher crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran to smash my favourite slot machine (oh oh oh)
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

Having scored a trillion dollars, made a run back home
Found him slumped across the table. a gun and me alone
I ran to the window. looked for a plane or two
Panic in detroit. he'd left me an autograph
"let me collect dust." i wish someone would phone
Panic in detroit
Panic in detroit
Panic in detroit
Aoo

Watching him dash away, swinging an old bouquet - dead roses
Sake and strange divine uh-hu-hu-uh-hu-hu you'll make it
Passionate bright young things, takes him away to war - don't fake it
Sadden glissando strings
Uh-hu-hu-uh-hu-hu - you'll make it

Who'll love aladdin sane
Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise
Who'll love aladdin sane

Motor sensational, paris or maybe hell - (i'm waiting)
Clutches of sad remains
Waits for aladdin sane - you'll make it

Oooh who'll love aladdin sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Oooh who'll love aladdin sane

We'll love aladdin sane
Love aladdin sane

Oooh who'll love aladdin sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Oooh who'll love aladdin sane

We'll love aladdin sane
We'll love aladdin sane

Oooh who'll love aladdin sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Oooh who'll love aladdin sane

We'll love aladdin sane
Who'll love aladdin sane

See the lights shine oh so bright on broadway

(uh uh aaah) let me put my arms around your head
(dom du aaah) gee, it's hot, let's go to bed
Don't forget to turn on the light
Don't laugh babe, it'll be alright
(dom du aaah) pour me out another phone
(dom du aaah) i'll ring and see if your friends are home
Perhaps the strange ones in the dome
Can lend us a book we can read up alone

And try to get it on like once before
When people stared in jagger's eyes and scored
Like the video films we saw

His name was always buddy (got got du aaah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got du aaah)
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah)
It's a drive-in saturday

Jung the foreman prayed at work (dom du aaah)
Neither hands nor limbs would burst
It's hard enough to keep formation with this fall out saturation
(bah dom bah) cursing at the astronette
(dom du aaah) who stands in steel by his cabinet
He's crashing out with sylvian
The bureau supply for ageing men
With snorting head he gazes to the shore
Once had raised a sea that raged no more
Like the video films we saw

His name was always buddy (got got du aaah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got du aaah)
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah)
It's a drive-in saturday

His name was always buddy (got got du aaah aah aah)
And he'd shrug and ask to stay
She'd sigh like twig the wonder kid (got got du aaah)
And turn her face away

She's uncertain if she likes him (got got du aaah aah aah)
But she knows she really loves him
It's a crash course for the ravers (got got du aaah)
It's a drive-in saturday, yeah, yeah

(drive-in saturday)
(it's a drive-in saturday)
(it's a drive-in saturday)
Drive in saturday
(it's a drive-in saturday)
It's a, it's a, it's a drive in saturday
(it's a drive-in saturday)
It's a, it's a, it's a, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir, yes sir
(it's a drive-in saturday)
Dom du du du, dom du du du
(it's a drive-in saturday)
Dom du du da, dom du du da
