Cash girls suffer me
I've got no enemies
I'm walking down
It's nothing to me
It's nothing to see
If I'll never see the English evergreens
I'm running to
It's nothing to me
It's nothing to see

I'm dying to
Push their backs against the grain
And fool them all again and again
I'm trying to
We bitches tear our magazines
Those oligarchs with foaming mouths phone now and then
Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you
I'm trying to
I'm dying to

Dollar days, survival sex
Honor stretching tails to necks
I'm falling down
It's nothing to me
It's nothing to see
If I'll never see the English evergreens
I'm running to
It's nothing to me
It's nothing to see

I'm dying to
Push their backs against the grain
And fool them all again and again
I'm trying to
It's all gone wrong but on and on
The bitter nerve ends never end
I'm falling down
Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you
I'm trying to
I'm dying to

I'm trying to
I'm dying to
I'm trying to
I'm dying to
I'm trying to
I'm dying to
I'm trying to
I'm dying to

    I've been listening to it since the day it came out and then we lost Bowie. seems to be about how he started in music industry and how he tried to do things differently and how it required to "fool them". Oligarchs could be execs in the business. "Honor stretching tails to necks" this line... sometimes at work I get to thinking that I'm not really proud of what I all the things I do. They all do not sum up to define me as a character. Maybe I say something to somebody or do sth, still wouldn't be better if all these things were in line with the person I like to be, and weren't kinda demeaning? Maybe Bowie is referring to all the things he had to do in this life and he wished they were better, more honorable but that's life and things just happen, a million of them. anyway I'm probably wide off the mark
