Joe The Lion Lyrics

David Bowie

Joe the lion, went to the bar A couple of drinks on the house An' he said, "Tell you who you are If you nail me to my car"
Boy, thanks for hesitating This is the kiss off Boy, thanks for hesitating You'll never know the real story Just a couple of dreams You get up and sleep You can buy God
It's Monday Slither down the greasy pipe So far, so good no one saw you Hobble over any freeway You will be like your dreams tonight You get up and sleep You get up and sleep Joe the lion Made of iron
Joe the lion, went to the bar A couple of drinks on the house An' he was a fortune teller He said, "Nail me to my car and I'll tell you who you are"
Joe the lion (Yeah, yeah) Went to the bar (Yeah, yeah) A couple of dreams An' he was a fortune teller (Nail me to my car, nail me to my car) He said, "Nail me to my car Tell you who you are"
You get up and sleep The wind blows on your cheek The day laughs in your face I guess you'll buy a gun You'll buy it secondhand And you'll get up and sleep
Joe the lion Made of iron Joe the lion Made of iron Joe the lion Made of iron Joe the lion Made of
