Oh! You Pretty Things (1997 Remastered) - David Bowie
Written by:David Bowie
Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window what do I see
Crack in the sky and a hand
Reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to
No room for me no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found
By the golden Ones
Written in pain written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh you pretty things
Oh you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving
Your mothers and driving insane
Oh you pretty things
Oh you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving
Your mothers and fathers insane
Let make me say
Gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a b**ch we've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh you pretty things
Oh you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving
Your mothers and fathers insane
Oh you pretty things
Oh you pretty things
Don't you know you're driving
Your mothers and driving insane
Let make me say
Gotta make way for the Homo Superior
