Bang Bang by David Bowie Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1987

[Intro]
Now, this isn't the right thing to do
So—
So, let's—
So, let's go

[Verse 1]
Young girls they know what they're after
Young girls don't kiss me goodbye
Rockets shooting up into space
Buildings they rise to the skies

[Chorus]
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, reach for the sky

[Verse 2]
I keep a good friend on videotape
He'll drive his sports car until it's too late
But we'll have a hot time on the town tonight
Because love is my bet and it's the best yet
[Chorus]
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, sun don't shine

[Chorus]
Bang bang, you are angels
Bang bang, now, you all oughta' be in pictures

[Verse 3]
Oh girl
Oh girl
My problems can't follow me
Phone calls, I take my machine
I wander lonely to the sea
Lonely, ha-ha-ha, what does it mean

[Chorus]
Bang bang, I got mine
Bang bang, and you are next in line

[Chorus]
Bang bang, reach for the sky
Bang bang, sun don't shine

[Bridge]
Rise buildings
Rise to the sky
(Well, uh,) young girls they know what they're after
I said, young girls don't kiss me goodbye
[Chorus]
Bang bang, then you closed, then you some closed, then you closed down
([?])
Bang bang, [?]
(Just come in first)

[Chorus]
Bang bang
(If prayers had wings)
Bang bang
(And you were next in line)
