Lyrics Diamond Dogs - 2016 Remastered Version - David Bowie

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 a silicon hump and your ten-inch stump
Dressed like a priest you was, Todd Browning streak he was

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
I'm surevyou'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 killer pin

(Here they come) I keep a friend serene
(Here they come) Oh, baby, come on to me
(Here they come) Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the doorway, 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

That 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

Meets his little hussey with his ghost town approach
Her face her saddest feature but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are civilised

(Here they come) I keep a friend serene
(Here they come) Oh, baby, come on to me
(Here they come) Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the doorway, 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

Wow ho, ho, call them the Diamond Dogs
Wow, ho, ho, call them the Diamond Dogs

In the year of the scavenger, season of the bitch
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
(There's gonna be sirens) Try and wake up tomorrow

(They come) I keep a friend serene
(Here they come) Oh, baby, come on to me
(Here they come) Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the doorway, 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

Wow, ho, ho, call them the Diamond Dogs
Wow, ho, ho, call them the Diamond Dogs
Wow, ho, ho, call them the Diamond Dogs

Call them the Diamond (Dogs)
Call them, call them
Call them the Diamond Dogs
Call them, call them, wow, ho, ho,
Call them the Diamond Dogs

Keep cool
Diamond Dogs rule
OK

Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Beware of the Diamond Dogs

Beware of the Diamond Dogs
