Everything Is You

(David Bowie)



Ba-da ba-da ba-da
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh

I'm walking down the middle of the road
Close my eyes pretend I'm going home
But when I look between the forest boughs
I see your eyes as buzzing bees and painted butterfly your dress
I look around and everything is you

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh

Wake up each morning rise up from my bed
A little piece of leather 'round my head
To stop the sweat from dimming up my eyes
I feel your grace in all the trees
Your strength is in the axe I wield
I look around and everything is you

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh

The foreman is an evil guy
He stops my pay
Gets in my way
But I've got to stay

I've got to earn some money
Make your dreams come true
I look 'round and everything is you

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh

Cut three miles of timber and I'm tired
I guess that I've been thinking all the while
Showed your picture to the guys in the gang
Whilst sitting 'round an open fire
The memories grow warm and strong
I look around and everything is you

Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
I look around and everything is you
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
I look around and everything is you
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh
Buh - duh - buh - duh - buh - duh
