Sweet Thing [Bowie]

It's safe in the city to love in a doorway
To wrangle some screams from the dawn
And isn't it me putting pain in a stranger?
Like a portrait in flesh who trails on a leash

Will you see that I'm scared and I'm lonely?
So I'll break up my room and yawn
And I run to the centre of things
Where the knowing one says

Boys, boys
It's a sweet thing
Boys, boys
It's a sweet thing, sweet thing

If you want it, boys
Get it here, thing
'Cause hope, boys
Is a cheap thing, cheap thing

I'm glad that you're older than me
Makes me feel important and free
Does that make you smile?
Isn't that me?

I'm in your way and I'll steal every moment
If this trade is a curse, then I'll bless you
And turn to the crossroads of Hamburg as in

Boys, boys
It's a sweet thing
Boys, boys
It's a sweet thing, sweet thing

If you want it, boys
Get it here, thing
'Cause hope, boys
Is a cheap thing, cheap thing
