Step off the train all alone at dawn 
Back into the hole where I was born  
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me 
The blood on the trax and must be mine  
The fool on the hill and I feel fine  
Don't look back cos you know what you might see  

Look into the wall of my mind's eye  
I think I know, but I don't know why  
The questions are the answers you might need 
Coming in a mess going out in style  
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child 
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe  

I met my maker  
I made him cry 
And on my shoulder he asked me why  
His people won't fly through the storm  
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"  

All my people right here, right now  
D'You Know What I Mean?  
All my people right here, right now  
D'You Know What I Mean?  
All my people right here, right now  
D'You Know What I Mean?  
Yeah, yeah  

I don't really care for what you believe  
So open up your fist or you won't receive  
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need  
Get up off the floor and believe in life 
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice  
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me  
 

STAY YOUNG  

One way out is all you're ever gonna get  
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you 
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed  

Making us take the blame  
Making us cold in the night  
Making us question my heart and soul  
And I think that it's not quite right  

Hey! stay young and invincible  
Cos we know just what we are  
And come what may we're unstoppable 
Cos we know just what we are  

Feed your head with all the things you need  
When you're hungry 
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday 
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed  
 

ANGEL CHILD 

Won't you take me ... won't you take me to the edge of night  
And make me ... won't you make me walk into the night  
And there'll be no eyes ... 
No eyes that seen such beauty would lose their sight  
And there'll be no lies  
No lies that you could tell me would make things right  

Cos I gave all my money to people and things  
And the price in still playing and the shit that it brings  
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing  
Tonight this is your life  
Angel child (of mine)  

When you find out ... when you find out who you are you know  
You'll be free ... to free your own ability  
And there'll be no eyes ... 
No eyes that seen such beauty would lose their sight  
And there'll be no lies  
No lies that you could tell me 
Would make things right 
  

HEROES 
(words and music by Bowie/Eno) 

I, I wish I could swim 
Just like a dolphin 
Like dolphins can swim 
But nothing is gonna keep us together 
And we can beat them 
For ever and ever 
Cause we can be heroes 
Just for one day 

I, I will be king 
And you, you're gonna be my queen 
Well, but nothing 
Is gonna drive us away 
Cause we can be heroes 
Just for one day 
And we're gonna be ourselves 
Just for one day 

I, I can remember 
(I remember) 
When I was standing 
By the wall 
(By the wall) 
And then the guns 
They shot over our heads 
(Over our heads) 
And then we kissed 
As though nothing could fall 
(nothing could fall) 
But when they're shooting 
You know the sign was on their side 
But we're gonna beat them 
For ever and ever 

Cause we can be heroes 
Just for one day 

We can be heroes 
Just for one day 
We can be heroes 
Just for one day 
We can be heroes 
Just for one day 
Yeah we can be heroes 
Just for one day
