Oh You Pretty Things — текст песни (David Bowie)

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I`ve made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they`re here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we work here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they`re here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don`t you know you`re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don`t you know you`re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don`t kid yourself they belong to you
They`re the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We`ve finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they`re here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don`t you know you`re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don`t you know you`re driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
