Candidate [Bowie]

I'll make you a deal like any other candidate
We'll pretend we're walking home 'cause your future's at stake
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street
There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend

Someone scrawled on the wall, "I smell the blood of Les Tricoteuses"
Who wrote up scandals in other bars
I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people
Spreading rumours, and lies, and stories they made up

Some make you sing and some make you scream
One makes you wish that you'd never been seen
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier maché
Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay

If you want it, boys
Get it here thing

So you scream out of line, "I want you, I need you
Anyone out there? Anytime?"
Trés butch little number whines, "Hey, dirty, I want you
When it's good, it's really good and when it's bad, I go to pieces"

If you want it, boys
Get it here thing

Well, on the street where you live, I could not hold up my head
For I put all I had in another bed
On another floor, in the back of a car
In a cellar of the church with the door ajar

Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind
But we can't stop trying till we break up our minds
Till the sun drips blood on the seedy young knights
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright

I guess we could cruise down one more time
With you by my side, it should be fine
We'll buy some drugs and watch a band
Then jump in the river holding hands
