1984 (Live 1974) Lyrics by David Bowie

David Live (2005 Mix)

1974

[Verse 1]
Someday they won't let you
So now you must agree
The times they are a-telling
And the changing isn't free
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw of 1984
[Audience Cheers]
[Verse 2]
They'll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
[Chorus]
(Come see, come see, remember me?)
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (Who could ask for more?)
1984 (Who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore?)
(Mor-or-or-or-ore)
[Verse 3]
I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for the reason that I knew in '65
Beware the savage jaw of 1984
[Chorus]
(Come see, come see, remember me?)
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (Who could ask for more?)
1984 (Who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore?)
(Mor-or-or-or-ore)
[Outro]
1984 (Who could ask for more?)
1984 (Who could ask for more?)
1984 (Who could ask for more?)
