You Feel So Lonely You Could Die

David Bowie · The Next Day [2013]

You Feel So Lonely You Could Die

No one else saw you moving through the dark.

Leaving slips of paper somewhere in the park.

Hidden from your friends,

stealing all they knew.

Love is thrown in airless rooms.

Thin vile rewards for you.

I'm gonna tell. Yes, I've got to tell, gotta tell

the things you've said

When you're talking in the dark.

And I'm gonna tell the things you've done

When you're walking through the park.

Some night on a thrill-less street

Will come a silent gun.

You've got the dangerous part.

You stole their trust, their moon, their sun.

They'll come such a dart and it's needle

On a crowded train.

I bet you'll feel so lonely you could die.

Buildings crammed with people.

Landscape filled with wrath.

Grey concrete city.

Rain has wet the street.

I want to see you clearly

Before you close the door.

A room of blood history.

you made sure of that.

I can see you as a corpse

Hanging from a beam.

I can read you like a book.

I can feel you falling.

I here you moaning in your room.

Oh, see If I care.

Oh please, please, make it soon.

Walls have you cornered.

You've got the blues, my friend.

And people don't like you.

But you will leave without a sound or a God, an end.

Hopefully, I love you.

Death along shall love you.

I bet you'll feel so lonely you could die,

You could die.

Feel so alone, you could die.

You feel so lonely you could die.
