Joe The Lion — David Bowie

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

Joe the lion, yeah yeah Went to the bar, yeah yeah A couple of dreams and he was A fortune teller he said Nail me to my car tell you who you are

You get up and sleep The wind blows on your check 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.)
