You've Been Around (2003 Digital Remaster) - David Bowie

Where's the pain in the violent night?

I'm depressed by the grin

I stay over many years

I should have thought of that

For the love of the money

Like a black-hearted violin

It's the nature of being

It's too many lonely nights

I can't tell bad from wrong

I can't pass you by

Two exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

Where the flesh meets the spirit world

Where the traffic is thin

I slip from a vacant view

I should have thought of that

And the sound of tomorrow

Like a black-hearted vile thing

Like the silence of tension

It's too many lonely nights

I can't tell good from bad

I can't pass you by

Too exchanging

You've been around

But you've changed me

You've been around

Can't pass you by

You've been around

But you've changed me

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

Too exchanging

You've been around

but you've changed me

You've been around

can't pass you by
