| Written:David Bowie/Reeves Gabrels | |
| There are two versions of these lyrics, the alternate version being that used for the Ice Storm soundtrack. | |
| I can't read and I can't write down | |
| I don't know a book from countdown | |
| I don't care which shadow gets me | |
| All I've got is someone's face | |
| Money goes to money heaven | |
| Bodies go to body hell | |
| I just cough, catch the chase | |
| Switch the channel watch the police car | |
| CHORUS | |
| I can't read shit anymore | |
| I just sit back and ignore | |
| I just can't get it right, can't get it right | |
| I can't read shit I can't read shit | |
| When you see a famous smile | |
| No matter where you run your mile | |
| To be right in that photograph | |
| Andy where's my fifteen minutes | |
| CHORUS | |
| In the alternate version, the last two verses are interchanged, | |
| and the lyrics for the new second verse become : | |
| Can I see a family smile | |
| I can I reach tomorrow | |
| Can I walk a missing mile | |
| Can I feel, Can I please? |
