Letra I'd Rather Be High - David Bowie
Nabokov is sun-licked now / Upon the beach at Grunewald
Brilliant and naked just / The way that authors look
Clare and Lady Manners drink / Until the other cows go home
Gossip till their lips are bleeding / Politics and all
I?d rather be high / I?d rather be flying
I?d rather be dead / Or out of my head
Than training these guns on those men in the sand
I?d rather be high
The Thames was black, the tower dark
I flew to Cairo, find my regiment / City?s full of generals
And generals full of shit / I stumble to the graveyard and I
Lay down by my parents, whisper
Just remember duckies / Everybody gets got
I?d rather be high / I?d rather.../..in the sand / I?d rather be high
I?m seventeen my looks can prove it
I?m so afraid that I will lose it
I?d rather smoke and phone my ex
Be pleading for some teenage sex, / Yeah
I?d rather be high/...on the men in the sand / I?d rather be high
