The Hearts Filthy Lesson

David Bowie

(Heart's filthy lesson)
(Heart's filthy lesson)
(Heart's filthy lesson)

There's always the diamond friendly
Sitting in the Laugh Motel
The heart's filthy lesson
With her hundred miles to hell

Oh, Ramona
If there was only something between us
If there was only something between us
Other than our clothes

Something in our skies
Something in our skies
Something in our blood
Something in our skies

Paddy
Paddy?
Who's been wearing Miranda's clothes?

It's the heart's filthy lesson
Heart's filthy lesson
Heart's filthy lesson
Falls upon deaf ears
(Heart's Filthy Lesson)
It's the heart's filthy lesson
Heart's filthy lesson
Heart's filthy lesson
Falls upon deaf ears

(Heart's filthy lesson)
Falls upon deaf ears
(Heart's filthy lesson)
(Heart's filthy lesson)
(Heart's filthy lesson)

Oh Ramona
If there was only some kind of future
Oh Ramona
If there was only some kind of future
And these cerulean skies

Something in our skies
Something in our skies
Something in our blood
Something in our skies

Paddy
Paddy?

Paddy will you carry me, I think I've lost my way
(Heart's filthy lesson, heart's filthy lesson)
I'm already five years older, I'm already in my grave
I'm already (heart's filthy lesson, heart's filthy lesson)
I'm already
I'm already (heart's filthy lesson, heart's filthy lesson)
Will you carry me?
Oh Paddy
I think I've lost my way

Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss
Paddy, what a fantastic death abyss (heart's filthy lesson)
It's the heart's filthy lesson (Paddy)
Tell the others
(Heart's filthy lesson)
It's the heart's filthy lesson (Paddy)
What a fantastic death abyss
Tell the others (heart's filthy lesson)
It's the heart's filthy lesson
