From Hunky Dory (1971) by David Bowie

Oh! You Pretty Things (Bowie) - 3:12

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching
down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
There's no room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books are found by the Golden
ones
It's written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we came here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
(2nd time: Let me say it again)
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bitch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh! You Pretty Things etc.
