[00:04.60] Five years
[00:06.47] Artist:David Bowie
[00:09.84]
[00:18.12] Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
[00:27.45] News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
[00:36.97] News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
[00:46.18] Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
[00:54.68] I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
[00:59.43] I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
[01:04.54] My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
[01:08.78] I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
[01:13.04] And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
[01:22.34] And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
[01:29.61] I never thought I'd need so many people
[01:36.75]
[01:38.41] A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
[01:46.92] If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
[01:56.46] A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
[02:05.71] A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
[02:12.77]
[02:15.01] I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
[02:23.61] Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
[02:30.04] you knew you were in this song
[02:32.49] And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
[02:37.21] And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
[02:41.60] Your face, your race, the way that you talk
[02:46.24] I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
[02:50.35]
[02:50.86] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
[02:55.85] Five years, what a surprise
[02:59.73] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[03:04.79] Five years, that's all we've got
[03:09.36] We've got five years, what a surprise
[03:13.85] Five years, stuck on my eyes
[03:18.18] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[03:22.68] Five years, that's all we've got
[03:26.98] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
[03:31.95] Five years, what a surprise
[03:35.89] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[03:40.89] Five years, that's all we've got
[03:44.71] We've got five years, what a surprise
[03:49.71] We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
[03:53.73] We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
[03:58.93] Five years, that's all we've got
[04:03.57] Five years
[04:07.88] Five years
[04:12.37] Five years
[04:16.77] Five years
