Look Back in Anger (New Version Recorded 1988) Lyrics by David Bowie

Lodger (1991 Reissue)

1991

[Verse 1]
"You know who I am," he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
"It's time we should be going"

[Chorus]
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
'Til you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
'Til you come
(Waiting so long, ahhh...)

[Verse 2]
No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me

[Chorus]
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by thе night
'Til you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, feel it in my voicе
'Til you come

[Outro]
(Waiting so long, ahhh...)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
(Waiting so long)
