FIVE YEARS (The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars) Testo e musica di David Bowie

G Pushing through the market square, Em so many mothers sighing A News had just come over,         C we had five years left to cry in G News guy wept and told us, Em earth was really dying A Cried so much his face was wet,         C then I knew he was not lying          G I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies        Em I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's      A My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare            C I had to cram so many things to store everything in there                 Am            C                        Am And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people C                   G     C                      D And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people                                   Am     C I never thought I'd need so many people G                               Em A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children A                                         C If the black hadn't a pulled her off, I think she would have killed them G                                        Em A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac A A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,         C and a queer threw up at the sight of that G I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, Em drinking milk shakes cold and long   A Smiling and waving and looking so fine, C don't think you knew you were in this song             G And it was cold, and it rained, so I felt like an actor         Em And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there       A Your face, your race, the way that you talk    C I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk         G We got five years, stuck on my eyes Em Five years, what a suprise         A We got five years, my brain hurts alot  C Five years, that's all we got         G We got five years
