Seven Lyrics by David Bowie

‘hours…’ (Special Limited 2CD Edition)

1999

[Verse 1]
I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we lay upon your bed

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A city full of flowers
A city full of rain

[Chorus]
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die

[Verse 2]
I forgot what my brother said
I forgot what he said
I don't regret anything at all
I remember how we wept

[Pre-Chorus 2]
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry

[Chorus]
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Hold my face before you
Still my trembling heart

[Chorus]
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die

[Verse 3]
The gods forgot they made me
So I forgot them too
I listen to the shadows
I play among their graves

[Pre-Chorus 4]
My heart was never broken
My patience never tried

[Chorus]
I got seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die
Seven days to live my life
Or seven ways to die

[Outro]
Seven
