Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Page #5

# At the funeral of my youth

# We ploughed for that...

#..and the passing time

# My death waits like a witch at night

# As surely as our love is right

# Let's not think about the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is you

# My death waits like a beggar blind

# Who sees the world through an unlit mind

# Throw him a dime for the passing time

# My death waits there between your thighs

# Your cool fingers will close my eyes

# Let's think of that and the passing time

# My death waits to allow my friends

# A few good times before it ends

# So let's drink to that and the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is you

# My death waits there among the leaves

# In magician's mysterious sleeves

# Rabbits and dogs and the passing time

# My death waits there among the flowers

# Where the blackest shadow blackest shadow cowers

# Let's pick lilacs for the passing time

# My death waits there in a double bed

# Sails of oblivion at my head

# So pull up the sheets against the passing time

# But whatever lies behind the door

# There is nothing much to do

# Angel or devil, I don't care

# For in front of that door

# There is... #

Thank you.

LOUD CHEERS:

PIANO NOTES STRUCK

How long have we got?

- Anyone in the stalls has got no chance.

- Eh?

- Anyone sitting in the stalls has got no chance.

- Can't they see anything?

- No, not really. Not unless you stand on somebody. Doesn't matter.

- Too bad.

When the end, at the end of that thing... "There is..." And they said, "Me, me, me, me!"

CHATTER AND LAUGHTER

CLAPPING ALONG TO GUITAR MUSIC

OK, the boys are ready...

INTRO:
"Cracked Actor"

# I've come on a few years from my Hollywood highs

# The best of the last, the meanest star they ever had

# Stiff on my legend, the films that I made

# Forget that I'm 50 cause you just got paid

# Crack, baby, crack show me you're real

# Smack, baby, smack is that all that you feel

# Suck, baby, suck give me your head

# Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead. #

# Found yourself a trick down on Sunset and Vine

# But since he pinned you, baby you're a porcupine

# He sold you illusions for a bagful of cheques

# You've made a bad connection cos I just want your sex

- BOTH:

- # Crack, baby, crack show me you're real

# Smack, baby, smack is that all that you feel

# Suck baby suck give me your head

# Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead. #
