Red Money Lyrics
Oh, can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
And it's been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
It's been there all along
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
CHORUS
Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all
I was really feeling good
Reet Petite and how d'ya do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it
Stop it, take it away
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
CHORUS
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
CHORUS
Can you hear it at all (2x)
Red Money (4x)
Such responsibility
It's up to you and me
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
And it's been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
It's been there all along
Tumbling central
Red Money
Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all
Reet Petite and how d'ya do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it
Stop it, take it away
Tumbling central
Red Money
Tumbling central
Red Money
It's up to you and me

this song is same as Sister Midnight, now with Eno's trickery and Bowie's lyrics added.
@carcrashkiss - oddly, I like both songs. Normally such a juxtaposition would not work with my brain - especially since Red Money is my favorite Bowie song. Yet somehow Iggy's take pulled off a cerebral free pass, all without ever involving me. I wasn't even consulted. I never know what's going on up there anymore. I don't even take it personally. As long as I have my brain-office with the Post-It on the door with CEO scrawled in Sharpie, who am I to rock the boat? The phone on my desk doesn't work. I can't even call someone to come...

I can't even call someone to come and fix it. I went looking for someone once, but I keep running into Level 5 doors in my brain that my Level 3 access card won't open. That seems odd seeing as I'm CEO and all. If I don't have Level 5 access who d... holy shit! The phone on my desk is ringing... What the hell do I do? Nobody ever told me what I should do if that happens! It's not stopping. Crap! I never received any kind of employee manual or orientation. How did I even get this job? It's still ringing. Should I pick it up or what? Shit.
