David Bowie Lyrics

Album: Unknown

You've Been Around Lyrics

Where's the pain in the violent night?

 I'm depressed by the grin

 I stay over many years

 I should have thought of that

 For the love of the money

 Like a black-hearted violin

 It's the nature of being

 

 It's too many lonely nights

 I can't tell bad from wrong

 I can't pass you by

 Too exchanging

 You've been around

 But you've changed me

 

 Where the flesh meets the spirit world

 Where the traffic is thin

 I slip from a vacant view

 I should have thought of that

 And the sound of tomorrow

 Like a black-hearted vile thing

 Like the silence of tension

 It's too many lonely nights

 I can't tell good from bad

 I can't pass you by

 Too exchanging

 You've been around

 But you've changed me

 You've been around

 Can't pass you by

 You've been around

 But you've changed me

 Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

 Too exchanging

 You've been around 

 but you've changed me

 You've been around 

 can't pass you by
