Diamond Dogs (Bowie) Tony Newman: Drums Aynsley Dunbar: Drums Herbie Flowers: Bass Mike Garson: Keyboards Bowie: Guitar, Saxes, Moog and Mellotron Written, arranged and produced by Bowie Engineer: Keith Harwood This ain't rock'n'roll. This is genocide! As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Tod Browning's freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I'm sure you're not protected, for it's plain to see The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal CHORUS: I'll keep a friend serene Oh baby, come unto me Well, she's come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You'll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs The Halloween Jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below, oh Tarzie, go man go Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach Her face is sans feature, but she wears a Dali brooch Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake Wrecked up and paralyzed, Diamond Dogs are sableized CHORUS Call them the Diamond Dogs Call them the Diamond Dogs In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch Just another future song, lonely little kitsch (There's gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow CHORUS Call them the Diamond Dogs Call them the Diamond Dogs Keep cool Diamond Dogs rule, OK Beware of the Diamond Dogs |
