Survive Lyrics by David Bowie

‘hours…’ (Special Limited 2CD Edition)

1999

[Verse 1]
Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you, I should have tried
I should have been a wiser kind of guy
I miss you

[Verse 2]
Give me wings, give me space
Give me money for a change of face
These noisy rooms and passion pants
I loved you

[Chorus]
Where's the morning in my life?
Where's the sense in staying right?
Who said time is on my side?
I've got ears and eyes and nothing in my life
But I survive your naked eyes
I'll survive

[Chorus]
You alone across the floor
You and me and nothing more
You're the great mistake I never made
I never lied to you, I hated when you lied
But I'll survive your naked eyes
I'll survive

[Verse 3]
Beatle boys, all snowy white
Razzle dazzle clubs every night
Wish I'd sent a Valentine
I love you

[Outro]
I'll survive
Naked eyes
I'll survive
I'll survive
My naked eyes
I'll survive
