David Bowie - The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
What to do?
What to say?
What to wear on a sunny day?
Who the phone?
Who to fight?
Who to dance with on a sunday night?

[Chorus 1]
I'm reaching the very edge you know
Reaching the very edge
I'm going to the other side this time
Reaching the very edge

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're still breathing but you don't know why
Life's a bit and sometimes you die
You're still breathing but you just can't tell
Don't hold your breath
But the pretty things are going to hell

[Chorus 2]
I am a drug, I am a dragon
I am your best jazz you ever seen
I am the dragon, I am the sky
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
I found the secrets I found gold
I find you out before you grow old
I find you out before you grow old

[Verse]
What is eternal? What is damned?
What is clay and what is sand?
Who to diss? Who to trust?
Who to listen to? Who to suss?

[Chorus 1]

[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Outro/Chorus]
I am the dragon, I am the drug
I am your best jazz you've ever heard
I am the dragon, I'm the sky
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
I found the secrets I found gold
I found you out before you grow old[x2]
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore it out but they wore it well
