The Jean Genie Lyrics

Lyric discussion by p67 

Cover art for The Jean Genie lyrics by David Bowie

I’m with the Jean Genet camp on this (the French writer).

He says he a beautician and sell you nutrition (he sells drugs). The Jean Genie lives on his back (homosexual reference). The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks (loves cocaine — smoke goes up chimneys, coal makes smoke as does coke) He’s walking on snow white (cocaine reference again)

my 2 cents.
