David Bowie's, "Diamond Dogs"
Misheard Lyrics:
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tank
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
...
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
I'm sure not projected for this fantasy
The Diamond Dogs approaches and they hide behind trees
...
Will they come, I keep a friend serene
Will they come, oh baby come on to me,
Well she's coming and gone
Come out of the dark end baby,
You'll catch your death in the fog,
Young girl they call them the Diamond Dogs,
...
Now Halloween jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan chase
The elevators broke so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below uptown they come and go,
Meets his little horsey with his ghostown approach.
Her face is a bad scene but she wears a bad broach,
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to be,
Wake up in paradise, the diamond dogs are civilized,
Here she comes, she keeps a friend serene,
Here she comes, oh baby come on to me,
Well she's coming and gone.
Come out of the dark end baby, you'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl they call them the Diamond Dogs,
They call them they call them,
Diamond Dogs really are gay.....
Original Lyrics:
As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump
...
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
...
(Will they come?) I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they come?) Oh baby, come on to me
(Will they come?) 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
...
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 Tarzan, 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 paralysed, Diamond Dogs are stabilised
(Will they come?) I'll keep a friend serene
(Will they come?) Oh baby, come on to me
(Will they come?) 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
