david bowie - bombers (bowpromo mix) [2022 remaster] lyrics
[chorus]
“all clear” wail the sirens
sunshine on the wasteland
old man sitting in the white sand
think we’re in for a big surprise
right between the eyes
[verse 1]
seemed a good idea
to drop a bomb on the wasteland here
only one man could be seen
and he was old and so serene
captain sat in his deck chair
and the red light flashed, “beware”
pilot felt quite big+time
as the bomb sailed through the air
well, they danced and sang
whеn the bang went bang
when thе lights popped out
and the smoke began to clear
it was positively queer
[chorus]
“all clear” wail the sirens
sunshine on the wasteland
old man sitting in the white sand
think we’re in for a big surprise
right between the eyes
[verse 2]
“die” said the general
“cobblers” said the man
so the pentagon sent a cable
and the queen a telegram
a+bombs, h+bombs, even very small ones
ripped apart that sand
’til the stench was just revolting
and the sky a greenish tan
but the soldier said, “sir
there’s a crack in the world”
and the figures went “squash”
and the bits flew far and wide
how the universe sighed
[chorus]
“all clear” wail the sirens
sunshine on the wasteland
old man sitting in the white sand
think we’re in for a big surprise
right between the eyes
“all clear” wail the sirens
sunshine on the wasteland
old man sitting in the white sand
think we’re in for a big surprise
right between the eyes
[outro]
when the smoke had blown away
there was nothing left to view
except a man, dear lord, who looked like you
floating high up in the sky
this is “andy war+hull”—
—and it’s take one, now we do take one
it’s, it’s “war+hole,” actually
what did i say?
“hull” it’s “hole” as in “holes”
andy warh+
huh? andy warho+
andy war+war+ol, like hol—hol—
“andy war+hole,” take one
ha
are you ready?
yeah, ah+ha+ha+ha+ha+ha
