Lyrics David Bowie – Joe The Lion
Text:
Joe the lion
Went to the bar
A couple of drinks on the house an’ he said
«Tell you who you are
if you nail me to my car»
Boy
Thanks for hesitating
This is the kiss off
Boy
Thanks for hesitating
You’ll never know the real story
Just a couple of dreams
You get up and sleep
You can buy god it’s Monday
Slither down the greasy pipe
So far so good no one saw you
Hobble over any freeway
You will be like your dreams tonight
You get up and sleep
You get up and sleep
Joe the lion
Made of iron
Joe the lion
Went to the bar
A couple of drinks on the house an’ he was
A fortune teller he said
«Nail me to my car
and I’ll tell you who you are»
x2
You get up and sleep
The wind blows on your cheek
The day laughs in your face
Guess you’ll buy a gun
You’ll buy it secondhand
You’ll get up and sleep
The day laughs in your face
Guess you’ll buy a gun
You’ll buy it secondhand
You’ll get up and sleep
Joe the lion made of iron
repeat ad inf.
