Young Americans lyrics

They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"Gee my life's a funny thing, am I
still too young"
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but

[CHORUS (She)]
All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right

Me, I hope that I'm crazy
I feel you driving and you're only the wheel
Slow down, let someone love you
Ohh, I've never touched you since I started to feel
If there's nothing to hide me
Then you've never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied, I say it's hip
To be alive

[CHORUS]
Now your smile is wearing (spreading) thin
Seems you're trying not to lose
Since I'm not supposed to win

Got to use her
Every time I feel fascination
I just can't stand still, I've got to
use her
Every time I think of what she pulled me through, dear
Fascination moves sweeping near me
Still I take ya

[CHORUS]
(Fascination) fascination
(sho 'nuff) fascination
(takes a part of me) takes
a part of me
(Can a heart-beat) can a heart-beat
(live in a fever) live in a fever
(raging inside of me)

[CHORUS 1]
Taking it all the right way
Keeping it in the back
Taking it all the right way
Never no turning back
Never need, no
Never no turning back

[CHORUS 2]
Flying in just a sweet place
Coming inside and safe
Flying in just a sweet place
Never been known to fail
Never been, no
Never been known to fail
Wishing you,
wishing that sometimes (sometimes)

He's everybody's token, on everybody's wall
Blessing all the papers, thanking one and all
Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies
Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall
He's so divine, his soul shines
Breaks the night, sleep tight
His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race
He says "I'm somebody"
He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

[CHORUS (twice)]
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a
Million eyes
They call me on and on

Once we were lovers, can they understand
Closer than others I was your, I was your man
Don't talk of heartaches, ohh, I remember them all
When I'm checking you out one day, to see if I'm Faking it all

[CHORUS]
Can you hear me
Can you feel me inside
Show your love, love
Take it in right (take it in right)
Take it in right (take it in right)

There's been many others (Oo-oo-oo-oohh) so many times

(David Bowie/John Lennon/Carlos Alomar)
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame

Well, Annie's pretty neat, she always eats her meat

Joe is awful strong, bet your life he's putting us on

Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know I need some loving

I'm moving, touch me!

(CHORUS)

John, I'm only dancing

She turns me on, but I'm only dancing

She turns me on, don't get me wrong

I'm only dancing

Oh shadow love was quick and clean, life's a well thumbed machine

Everybody's raised in blindness

Everybody knows it's true

Everybody feels that everything is real

Anybody's point of view

Nobody can break their bondage

Everyone can feel their chains

But even in my life I knew you found your sight

And nothing would be quite the same

Please help me

Who can I be now? You found me

Who can I be? Fell apart, you found me

(Rick Davies)
When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea
Think about the places we have
Where a young man could be
Then you jump back down to the rooftops
Look over the town
Then you think about all of the strange things
Circulating 'round
CHORUS
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy with all that's going down
All the people have got their problems
