David Bowie - Conversation Piece Lyrics
I took this walk to ease my mindTo find out whats gnawing at meWouldnt think to look at me,That Ive spent a lot of time in educationIt all seems so long agoIm a thinker, not a talkerIve no-one to talk to, anywayI cant see the roadFor the rain in my eyesAhhh ...I live above the grocers store,Owned by an austrianHe often calls me down to eatAnd he jokes about his broken english,Tries to be a friend to meBut for all my years of reading conversation,I stand without a word to sayI cant see the bridgeFor the rain in my eyeAhhh...And the world is full of lifeFull of folk who dont know meAnd they walk in twos or threes or morWhile the light that shines above the grocers storeInvestigates my face so rudelyAnd my essays lying scattered on the floorFulfill their needs just by being thereAnd my hands shake, my head hurts,My voice sticks inside my throatIm invisible and dumb,And no-one will recall meAnd I cant see the waterThrough the tears in my ey-y-yes
