Testo I'd Rather Be High - David Bowie
Testo della canzone I'd Rather Be High (David Bowie), tratta dall'album The Next Day
Nabokov is sun-licked now
Upon the beach at Gruenewald
Brilliant and naked
Just the way that authors look
Clare and Lady Manners drink
Until the other cows go home
Gossip 'til their lips are bleeding
Politics and all
I'd rather be high (I'd rather be high)
I'd rather be flying (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 be high)
I'd rather be flying (I'd rather be flying)
I'd rather be dead or out of my head
Than training these guns of those men in the sand
I'd rather be high
I'm 17 and 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 (I'd rather be high)
I'd rather be flying (I'd rather be flying)
I'd rather be dead or out of my head
Than training these guns on the men in the sand
I'd rather be high
I'd rather be flying
I'd rather be high
I'd rather be flying
I'd rather be flying
I'd rather be high
I'd rather be flying
