Thanks to Ruud Altenburg for helping out with these lyrics.

Lyrics

In mornings she's so regal that the valley sighs
In the chilly sea that killed her real slow
Now we're swimming up farther with the doll by our sides
Fill the cup with these sleepy souls

CHORUS
  Shimi Kapoor
  It's clear that some things never take
  Shimi Kapoor
  Please, heal these tears
  Shimi Kapoor

She will feel like at tea, make me laugh all along
With such feats like sex only brought upon
Oh lady, oh baby, maybe I'll live my lies alone
Jesus, up here, hear me, I, up-up-up ??

CHORUS

Please heal these tears

CHORUS repeat

Some things never
Never never

Trivia

• In the chorus, it sounds like Shimi Kapoor. Kristi sent me information that one Bowie fanzine stated that the line is actually a name check of Indian actor Shashi Kapoor, but I don't hear any "s" sound in it.

Appearances

• The Buddha Of Suburbia
