Hey Karen - David Bowie lyrics

I am afflicted by what you have been saying to me I feel so dumb I didn’t see it coming through Are you sure you’ve never meant any harm to me When you are slowly k**ing me right now All those flashes from your lashes, they are burning my tongue You can hear all the cracks in thin ice Just to think that all I need is a touch of your warmth I’m really asking for no more, no less Cuts that mark my fingers used to guide you straight to my heart But now this map is no use at all Then what more can I say for you to understand That I desperately need your help Help me get back what I had Help me be someone again I know it’s up to you Help me crawl out of that cave Scream out loud my own name Help me find the right way All I see is ruin where once I used to be Yeah, I see nothing that would make me stay I know it’s kinda hard to be the one that’s left out So I’ve been told by the voice in my head I can smell the memories pouring out of your open mouth But something ugly is standing in my way Half the time I am the man you want me to be The rest is what I try to save of myself
