Fantastic Voyage - David Bowie

In the event that this fantastic voyage

Should turn to erosion

And we never get old

Remember it’s true

Dignity is valuable

But our lives are valuable too

We’re learning to live with somebody’s depression

And I don’t want to live with somebody’s depression

We’ll get by, I suppose

It’s a very modern world

But nobody’s perfect

It’s a moving world

But that’s no reason

To shoot some of those missiles

Think of us as fatherless scum

It won’t be forgotten

'Cause we’ll never say anything nice again

Will we?

And the wrong words make you listen

In this criminal world

Remember it’s true

Loyalty is valuable

But our lives are valuable too

We’re learning to live with somebody’s depression

And I don’t want to live with somebody’s depression

We’ll get by, I suppose

But any sudden movement

I’ve got to write it down

They wipe out an entire race and I’ve got to write it down

But I’m still getting educated

But I’ve got to write it down

And it won’t be forgotten

'Cause I’ll never say anything nice again

How can I?
