How Does The Grass Grow? - David Bowie

There’s a graveyard by the station where the girls

Wear vinyl skirts and sandals from Hungary

The boys ride their Riga 1s upon the little hills

Such sadness and grief, the kids die standing

That’s where we made our tryst and struggled with our guns

Would you still love me if the clocks could go backwards?

The girls would fill with blood, and the grass will be green again

Remember the dead, they were so great, some of them

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How does the grass grow?

Blood, blood, blood

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Where do the boys lie?

Mud, mud, mud

How does the grass grow?

Blood, blood, blood

Well I lived a blind life, a white face, a prison

That you made, a life out of nothing, now I ride by

Black roads.

I miss you more than you’ll never, ever know

Waiting with my red eyes and my stone heart

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How does the grass grow?

Blood, blood, blood

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Where do the boys lie?

Mud, mud, mud

How does the grass grow?

Blood, blood, blood

I gaze in defeat at the stars in the night

The light in my life burnt away

There will be no tomorrow

Then you sigh in your sleep

And meaning returns with the day

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How does the grass grow?

Blood, blood, blood

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Where do the boys lie?

Mud, mud, mud

How does the grass grow?

Blood, blood, blood
