Lyrics The Bewlay Brothers - David Bowie
And
so
the
story
goes
they
wore
the
clothes
They
said
the
things
to
make
it
seem
improbable
The
whale
of
a
lie
like
they
hope
it
was
And
the
Goodmen
Tomorrow
Had
their
feet
in
the
wallow
And
their
heads
of
Brawn
were
nicer
shorn
And
how
they
bought
their
positions
with
saccharin
and
trust
And
the
world
was
asleep
to
our
latent
fuss
Sighing,
the
swirl
through
the
streets
Like
the
crust
of
the
sun
The
Bewlay
Brothers
In
our
Wings
that
Bark
Flashing
teeth
of
Brass
Standing
tall
in
the
dark
Oh,
And
we
were
Gone
Hanging
out
with
your
Dwarf
Men
We
were
so
turned
on
By
your
lack
of
conclusions
I
was
Stone
and
he
was
Wax
So
he
could
scream,
and
still
relax,
unbelievable
And
we
frightened
the
small
children
away
And
our
talk
was
old
and
dust
would
flow
Thru
our
veins
and
Lo!
it
was
midnight
Back
at
the
kitchen
door
Like
the
grim
face
on
the
Cathedral
floor
And
the
solid
book
we
wrote
Cannot
be
found
today
And
it
was
Stalking
time
for
the
Moonboys
The
Bewlay
Brothers
With
our
backs
on
the
arch
In
the
Devil-may-be-here
But
He
can't
sing
about
that
Oh,
And
we
were
Gone
Real
Cool
Traders
We
were
so
Turned
On
You
thought
we
were
Fakers
Now
the
dress
is
hung,
the
ticket
pawned
The
Factor
Max
that
proved
the
fact
Is
melted
down
And
woven
on
the
edging
of
my
pillow
Now
my
Brother
lays
upon
the
Rocks
He
could
be
dead,
He
could
be
not
He
could
be
You
He's
Chameleon,
Comedian,
Corinthian
and
Caricature
Shooting-up
Pie-in-the-Sky
The
Bewlay
Brothers
In
the
feeble
and
the
Bad
The
Bewlay
Brothers
In
the
Blessed
and
Cold
In
the
Crutch-hungry
Dark
Was
where
we
flayed
our
Mark
Oh,
and
we
were
Gone
Kings
of
Oblivion
We
were
so
Turned
On
In
the
Mind-Warp
Pavilion
Lay
me
place
and
bake
me
Pie
I'm
starving
for
me
Gravy
Leave
my
shoes,
and
door
unlocked
I
might
just
slip
away,
hey
Just
for
the
Day,
Hey!
Hey,
Please
come
Away,
Hey!
Just
for
the
Day,
Hey!
Please
come
Away,
Hey!
Please
come
Away,
Hey!
Just
for
the
Day
Please
come
Away
Please
come
Away
Please
come
Away
Please
come
Away
Away
(Away)
Away
Hey
