Lyrics Because You're Young - David Bowie

Because You're Young

Psychodelicate girl — come out to play
Little metal faced-boy — don’t stay away
They’re so war-torn and resigned she can’t talk any more
What are they trying to prove?
What would they like to find?
It’s love back to front and no sides — like I say
These pieces are broken — like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I’m wrong but I know
Because you’re young — you’ll meet a stranger some night
Because you’re young — what could be nicer for you and it makes me sad
So I’ll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
He punishes hard — was loving her such a crime
She took back everything she said
Left him nearly out of his mind
They’re people I know — people I love
They seem so unhappy — dead or alive
It’s love back to front and no sides — like I say
These pieces are broken — like I say
These pieces are broken
Hope I’m wrong but I know
A million dreams
A million scars
A million (repeat ad inf.)
