Teenage Wildlife Lyrics by David Bowie

Teenage Wildlife Lyrics

    Well, how come you only want tomorrow
    With its promise of something hard to do
    A real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
    Blue skies above and sun on your arms strength your stride
    And hope in those squeaky clean eyes
    You'll get chilly receptions everywhere you go
    Blinded with desire - i guess the season is on

    So you train by shadow boxing, search for the truth
    But it's all, but it's all used up
    Break open your million dollar weapon
    And push your luck, still you push, still you push your
    Luck
    A broken nosed mogul are you
    One of the new wave boys

    Same old thing in brand new drag
    Comes sweeping into view, oh ho ho ho ho ho
    As ugly as a teenage millionaire
    Pretending it's a whizz kid world
    You'll take me aside, and say
    "well, david, what shall i do?
    They wait for me in the hallway"
    I'll say "don't ask me, i don't know any hallways"
    But they move in numbers and they've got me in a corner
    I feel like a group of one, no-no
    They can't do this to me
    I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife

    Those midwives to history put on their bloody robes
    The word is that the hunted one is out there on his own
    And you're alone for maybe the last time
    And you breathe for a long time
    Then you howl like a wolf in a trap
    And you daren't look behind

    You fall to the ground like a leaf from the tree
    And look up one time at that vast blue sky
    Scream out aloud as they shoot you down
    No no, i'm not a piece of teenage wildlife
    I'm not a piece of teenage wildlife

    And no one will have seen and no one will confess
    The fingerprints will prove that you coudn't pass the test
    There'll be others on the line filing past, who'll whisper low
    I miss you he really had to go
    Well each to his own, he was
    Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh oh
    Another piece of teenage wildlife, oh oh oh oh oh
    Another piece of teenage wild...
    Wild
    Wild
    Wild
