Words and music by David Bowie and Brian Eno.
Thanks to Helen2, Jennifer Baily and HJack for assistance with these lyrics.
Note: It appears that the lyrics are somewhat different between the original Showgirls version and the re-released Earthling version. In particular, the Earthling version uses Johnny rather than Dummy, and also changes the order of the verses. Since the Earthling version is likely to be the most popular version, the lyrics here will represent the Earthling version (with differences noted where appropriate).
