Sons of the Silent Age - David Bowie

Sons of the silent age

Stand on platforms blank looks and note books

Sit in back rows of city limits

Lay in bed coming and going on easy terms

Sons of the silent age

Pace their rooms like a cell’s dimensions

Rise for a year or two then make war

Search through their one inch thoughts

Then decide it couldn’t be done

Baby, I’ll never let you go

All I see is all I know

Let’s take another way down (sons of sound and sons of sound)

Baby, baby, I’ll never let you down

I can’t stand another sound

Let’s find another way (sons of sound and sons of sound)

Sons of the silent age

Listen to tracks by Sam Therapy and King Dice

Sons of the silent age

Pick up in bars and cry only once

Sons of the silent age

Make love only once but dream and dream

Don’t walk, they just glide in and out of life

They never die, they just go to sleep one day

Baby, I won’t ever let you go

All I see is all I know

Let’s take another way down (sons of sound and sons of sound)

Oh baby, baby, baby, I won’t ever let you down

I can’t stand another sound

Let’s take another way in (sons of sound and sons of sound)

(Sons of sound and sons of sound)

Baby, baby, baby, fire away!
