Lightning Frightening (aka The Man) - David Bowie

Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows Perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine As daydreams slide to color from shadow Picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes And I love you Just lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple everytime Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple everytime Dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons Where feelings not reasons, can make you decide As leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens As colder nights harden, their moonlit delights And I love you Just lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple every time Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you If love's the truth then look no lies And let me swim around your eyes I've found a place I'll never leave Shut my mouth and just believe Love is the truth I realize Not a stream of pretty lies To use us up and waste our time Lying smiling in the dark Shooting stars around your heart Dreams come bouncing in your head Pure and simple every time Now you're crying in your sleep I wish you'd never learnt to weep Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping Pure and simple every time Look at me with starry eyes Push me up to starry skies There's stardust in my head Pure and simple every time Fresh and deep as oceans new Shiver at the sight of you I'll sing a softer tune Pure and simple over you Pure and simple just for you

Suffering from something we're not sure of In a world there is no cure for These lives we live test negative for happiness Flat line, no pulse but eyes open Single file like soldiers on a mission If there's no war outside our heads, why are we losing? I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening A life less frightening I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening A life less frightening Hang me out to dry, I'm soaking With the sense of knowing What's gone wrong but doing nothing, I still run Time again I have found myself stuttering Foundations pulled out from under me This breath is wasted on them all, will someone answer me? I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening A life less frightening I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening A life less frightening Is there a god tonight Up in the sky Or is it empty just like me? (Just like me?) A place where we can hide Out from the night Where you are all I need? (Where you are all I need) So blow a kiss goodbye And close your eyes Tell me what you see (tell me what you see) A lifetime spent inside This dream of mine Where you are all I see I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening A life less frightening I don't ask for much Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening A life less frightening

I'm all over my heart's desire I feel cold but I'm back in the fire Out of control but I'm tied up tight Come in, come out tonight I'm coming up in the early morning I feel love in the shock of the lightning I fall into the blinding light Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight Love is a time machine Up on the silver screen It's all in my mind Love is a litany A magical mystery And all in good time And all in good time And all in good time I got my feet on the street but I can't stop flying My head's in the clouds but at least I'm trying I'm outta control but I'm tied up tight Come in, come out tonight There's a hole in the ground into which I'm falling So godspeed to the sound of the pounding I'm all into the blinding light Come in, come out, come in, come out tonight Love is a time machine Up on the silver screen It's all in my mind Love is a litany A magical mystery And all in good time And all in good time And all in good time It's all in my mind Love is a time machine Up on the silver screen And all in good time And all in good time And all in good time

This week dragged past me so slowly The days fell on their knees Maybe I'll take something to help me Hope someone takes after me I guess there's always some change in the weather This time I know we could get it together If I did casually mention tonight That would be crazy tonight Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight Life is so vague when it brings someone new This time tomorrow I'll know what to do I know it's happened to you Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too
