Candidate Lyrics by David Bowie

Candidate Lyrics

    I'll make you a deal, like any other candidate
    We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
    My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
    There's a bar at the end where i can meet you and your
    Friend
    Someone scrawled on the wall "i smell the blood of les tricoteuses"
    Who wrote up scandals in other bars

    I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
    Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up
    Some make you sing and some make you scream
    One makes you wish that you'd never been seen
    But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier
    Mache
    Making bullet-proof faces, charlie manson, cassius clay
    If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

    So you scream out of line
    "i want you! i need you! anyone out there? any time?"
    Tres butch little number whines "hey dirty, i want you
    When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad i go to pieces"
    If you want it, boys, get it here, thing

    Well, on the street where you live i could not hold up my head
    For i put all i have in another bed
    On another floor, in the back of a car
    In the cellar like a church with the door ajar
    Well, i guess we've must be looking for a different kind
    But we can't stop trying 'till we break up our minds
    'til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
    Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright
    I guess we could cruise down one more time
    With you by my side, it should be fine
    We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
    Then jump in the river holding hands
