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

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

Shakey threw a party that lasted all night
Everybody drank a lot of something nice
There was an old fashioned band of married men
Looking up to me for encouragement - it was so-so

The ladies looked bad but the music was sad
No one took their eyes off lorraine
She shimmered and she strolled like a chicago moll
Her feathers looked better and better - it was so-so

Yeah! it was time to unfreeze
When the reverend alabaster danced on his knees
Slam! so it wasn't a game
Cracking all the mirrors in shame

Watch that man! oh honey, watch that man
Well he talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man! oh honey, watch that man
Well he walks like a jerk
But he's only taking care of the room
Must be in tune

A benny goodman fan painted holes in his hands
So shakey hung him up to dry
The pundits were joking the manholes were smoking
And every bottle battled with the reason why

The girl on the phone wouldn't leave me alone
A throw back from someone's lp
A lemon in a bag played the tiger rag
And the bodies on the screen stopped bleeding

Yeah! i was shaking like a leaf
For i couldn't understand the conversation
Yeah! i ran to the street, looking for information

Watch that man! oh honey, watch that man
He talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon
Watch that man! oh honey, watch that man
He walks like a jerk
But he's only taking care of the room
Must be in tune

Watch that man
Watch that man
Oh ah oh
Watch that man
Oh oh oh
Watch that man
Oooh ooh
Watch that man
Oh (watch that man)
(watch that man)
(watch that man)
(watch that man)
(watch that man) oh oh
(watch that man)
(watch that man)

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)

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
