David Bowie - Diamond Dogs lyrics

(spoken) This ain`t rock`n`roll. This is genocide!

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent

You asked for the latest party

With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump

Dressed like a priest you was

Tod Browning`s freak you was

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee

I`m sure you`re not protected, for it`s plain to see

The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees

Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal

CHORUS

(Will they come?)

I`ll keep a friend serene

(Will they come?)

Oh baby, come unto me

(Will they come?)

Well, she`s come, been and gone.

Come out of the garden, baby

You`ll catch your death in the fog

Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat

And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase

The elevator`s broke, so he slides down a rope

Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go

Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach

Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch

Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake

Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized

CHORUS

Oo-oo-ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs (x2)

In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch

Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch

Just another future song, lonely little kitsch

(There`s gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow

CHORUS

Ooh, call them the Diamond Dogs (x2)

Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow

Call them the Diamond Dogs

Dogs

Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them

Call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, call them, ooo

Call them the Diamond Dogs

Keep cool

Diamond Dogs rule, OK

Hey-hey-hey-hey

Beware of the Diamond Dogs (repeat)
