Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Page #3

# Your cool fingers will close my eyes

# Let's think of that and the passing time

# My death waits to allow my friends

# A few good times before it ends

# So let's drink to that and the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is you

# My death waits there among the leaves

# In magician's mysterious sleeves

# Rabbits and dogs and the passing time

# My death waits there among the flowers

# Where the blackest shadow blackest shadow cowers

# Let's pick lilacs for the passing time

# My death waits there in a double bed

# Sails of oblivion at my head

# So pull up the sheets against the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is... #

- MAN:
- Me! - MORE

FANS SHOUT:
"Me!"

- GIRLS:

- David, me!

Thank you.

LOUD CHEERS:

PIANO NOTES STRUCK

How long have we got?

- Anyone in the stalls has got no chance.

- Eh?

- Anyone sitting in the stalls has got no chance.

- Can't they see anything?

- No, not really. Not unless you stand on somebody. Doesn't matter.

- Too bad.

When the end, at the end of that thing... "There is..." And they said, "Me, me, me, me!"

CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

CLAPPING ALONG TO GUITAR MUSIC

OK, the boys are ready...

INTRO:
"Cracked Actor"

# I've come on a few years from my Hollywood highs

# The best of the last, the meanest star they ever had

# Stiff on my legend, the films that I made

# Forget that I'm 50 cause you just got paid

# Crack, baby, crack show me you're real

# Smack, baby, smack is that all that you feel

# Suck, baby, suck give me your head

# Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead. #

# Found yourself a trick down on Sunset and Vine

# But since he pinned you, baby you're a porcupine

# He sold you illusions for a bagful of cheques

# You've made a bad connection cos I just want your sex

- BOTH:

- # Crack, baby, crack show me you're real

# Smack, baby, smack is that all that you feel

# Suck baby suck give me your head

# Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead. #

CROWD CHEERS:

GIRLS SCREAM:

VAUDEVILLIAN PIANO

INTRO:
"Time"

# Time - he's waiting in the wings

# He speaks of senseless things

# His script is you and me - boy

# Time - he flexes like a whore

# Falls wanking to the floor

# His script is you and me - boy

# Time - in Quaaludes and red wine

# Demanding Billy Dolls

# And other friends of mine Take your time

# The sniper in the brain regurgitating drain

# Incestuous and vain, and many other last names

# You know I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think "Oh God I'm still alive"

# We should be on by now

# We should be on by now

# La-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# You...are not a victim

# You...just scream with boredom

# You...are not evicting time. #

HE PANTS:

# Chimes - God damn, you're looking old

# You'll freeze and catch a cold

# Cos you've left your coat behind Take your time

# Breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful

# I had so many dreams I made so many breakthroughs

# But you, my love, were kind your love was real but dreamless

# And the door to dreams was closed

# Your park was real dreamless

# Perhaps you're smiling now smiling through this darkness

# But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming

# We should be on by now

# We should be on by now

# We should be on by now

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

# La-la-la yeah - time! #

INTRO:
"The Width Of A Circle"

AUDIENCE CLAPS IN TIME

# In the corner of the morning in the past

# I would sit and blame the master first and last

# All the roads were straight and narrow

# And the prayers were small and yellow

# And the rumour spread that I was aging fast

# Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree

# Well I looked and frowned cos the monster was...me

# Ha

# Well, I said "Hello" and I said "Hello"

# And I asked "Why not?" and I replied "Dunno"

# So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be

# Well, he laughed insane and quipped "Kahlil Gibran"

# And I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through

# Cos I realised that God's a young...man...too

# Ah just like you

# Just like you

# Oh just like you. #

ROCKING GUITAR:

RHYTHMIC DRUM SOLO

WAILING GUITARS AND DRUMS

# Well I said "So long" and I waved bye-bye

# And I smashed my soul and traded my mind

# I got laid by a young bordello

# I was vaguely half asleep

# For which my reputation swept back home in drag

# And the morals of this magic spell

# Negotiates my hide

# When God did take my logic for a ride

# Riding along

# Turn around. #

SOARING GUITAR MELODY

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips

# He showed me the leather belt round his hips

# You know my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame

# He said "You'll never go down to the Gods again"

# Turn around, go back

# He struck the ground a cavern appeared

# And I smelt the burning pit of fear

# We crashed a thousand yards below

# I said "Do it again, do it again."

# Turn around, go back

# His nebulous body swayed above

# His tongue swollen with devil's love

# The snake and I a venom high

# I said "Do it again, do it again."

# Turn around go back

# Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply

# And I was seething breathing deeply

# Spitting sentry horned and tailed

# Waiting for you...ah you

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. #

I'd like to introduce you to The Spiders From Mars.

LOUD CHEERS:

INTRO:
"Let's Spend The Night Together"

# Don't you worry 'bout what's been on my mind

# I'm in no hurry I can take my time, oh yeah

# My tongue's going red and my mouth's getting dry oh-oh

# I'm out of my head

# I'm h-h-h-high

# Let's spend the night together Now I need you more than ever

# Let's spend the night together now

# I feel so strong that I can't disguise, oh my

# Well, I just won't apologize no

# Don't put me down

# We could have fun just by fooling around and around and around
