David Bowie - The Bewlay Brothers Lyrics
And so the story goes they wore the clothesThey said the things to make it seem improbableThe whale of a lie like they hope it wasAnd the goodmen tomorrowHad their feet in the wallowAnd their heads of brawn were nicer shornAnd how they bought their positions with saccharin and trustAnd the world was asleep to our latent fussSighing, the swirl through the streetsLike the crust of the sunThe bewlay brothersIn our wings that barkFlashing teeth of brassStanding tall in the darkOh, and we were goneHanging out with your dwarf menWe were so turned onBy your lack of conclusionsI was stone and he was waxSo he could scream, and still relax, unbelievableAnd we frightened the small children awayAnd our talk was old and dust would flowThru our veins and lo! it was midnightBack at the kitchen doorLike the grim face on the cathedral floorAnd the solid book we wroteCannot be found todayAnd it was stalking time for the moonboysThe bewlay brothersWith our backs on the archIn the devil-may-be-hereBut he cant sing about thatOh, and we were goneReal cool tradersWe were so turned onYou thought we were fakersNow the dress is hung, the ticket pawnedThe factor max that proved the factIs melted downAnd woven on the edging of my pillowNow my brother lays upon the rocksHe could be dead, he could be notHe could be youHes chameleon, comedian, corinthian and caricatureShooting-up pie-in-the-skyThe bewlay brothersIn the feeble and the badBewlay brothersIn the blessed and coldIn the crutch-hungry darkWas where we flayed our markOh, and we were goneKings of oblivionWe were so turned onIn the mind-warp pavilionLay me place and bake me pieIm starving for me gravyLeave my shoes, and door unlockedI might just slip away, heyJust for the day, hey!Hey, please come away, hey!Just for the day, hey!Please come away, hey!Please come away, hey!Just for the dayPlease come awayPlease come awayPlease come awayPlease come awayAway(away)AwayHey
