Diamond Dogs Lyrics by Duran Duran

Diamond Dogs

[bowie]


As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party
With your silicone hump and your ten inchy stump
Dressed like a priest you was,
Todd browning beast you was

Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees,
Im sure youre not protected
For its plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will
Mannequins with kill-appeal

Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, shes come, been, and gone

Come out of the garden, baby
Youll catch a death in the fog
Young girl they call them the diamond dogs
Young girl they call them the diamond dogs

Now halloween jack is a real cool cat,
And he lives on top of manhattan chase
The elevators broke so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below
Oh tarzie go man, go

Meets his little hussy with his ghost-town approach
Her face is sans feature but she wears a dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralyzed
Diamond dogs are sable-ized

Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, shes come, been, and gone

[chorus]

In the year of the scavenger the season of the bitch
Sashay on the board-walk scurry to the ditch
Just another future song lonely little kitch
Theres gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow

Will they come?
I keep a friend serene
Will they come?
Oh, baby, come unto me
Will they come?
Well, shes come, been, and gone

[chorus]
