Rock 'N' Roll Suicide
´óÎÀ.±«ÒÁ(David Bowie) Lyrics

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
Time passes by quickly, just like how you smoke a cigarette and it disappears in your mouth.

You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
You have nothing else to do but to smoke your cigarette, to the point where you pull on your fingers when there's nothing else to hold.

The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
The constant noise and distractions around you are calling for your attention, but eventually, everything fades away and you forget about them.

Ohhh how how how, you're a rock n roll suicide
You're living fast and recklessly like a rockstar and it's leading you towards self-destruction.

Youre too old to lose it, too young to choose it
You're at a point in your life where you can't afford to make any more mistakes because of your age, but you're also too young to know what you truly want.

And the clocks waits so patiently on your song
Time waits for no one, but it will patiently wait for you to create something meaningful in your life.

You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when youve lived too long
You've been living your life fast and hard for so long that simple pleasures like eating at a cafe don't bring you joy anymore.

Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock n roll suicide
Your reckless lifestyle is leading you down a path of self-destruction, a kind of 'rock n roll suicide'.

Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
You're so out of it that you're stumbling across the road, narrowly avoiding getting hit by a car with screeching brakes.

But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
You narrowly avoid danger and decide to go home as the day begins.

Don't let the sun blast your shadow
Don't let your problems overshadow your life like how the sun can cast a strong shadow.

Don't let the milk float ride your mind
Don't let little things or trivial thoughts take over your mind like how a milk float takes over a street.

Youre so natural - religiously unkind
You are naturally gifted but unwilling to put in the effort or the kindness that's required to make those gifts truly shine.

Oh no love! you're not alone
Even though you feel disconnected from the world, there are people who care about you and are willing to help.

Youre watching yourself but you're too unfair
You're aware of your actions and decisions, but you're being too hard on yourself and not giving yourself enough credit.

You got your head all tangled up but if I could only Make you care
You're overwhelmed and confused, but if someone could just make you care about your own life, things might start to look up.

No matter what or who youve been No matter when or where youve seen
Regardless of your past experiences, people or places, it's never too late to change and make things better.

All the knives seem to lacerate your brain Ive had my share, I'll help you with the pain
Every little negative thought or criticism seems to cut deep into your psyche, but someone else has gone through similar experiences and is willing to help you through the pain.

Just turn on with me and you're not alone
If you can connect with someone, together you won't feel alone.

Lets turn on with me and you're not alone (wonderful) Lets turn on and be not alone (wonderful)
Together we can find happiness and make the journey less lonely and wonderful.

Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful (wonderful) Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful (wonderful) Oh gimme your hands.
We are all wonderful in our own ways, and by connecting with one another we can create a better world. Let's hold hands and face life together.
