作词 : Bowie

I'm up on the eleventh floor

And I'm watching the cruisers below

He's down on the street

And he's trying hard

to pull sister Flo

ohh she said she can do it she can do it

'Cause she's hoping to score

So I can't see her

But he's down on the street

So I throw both his bags the down hall

And I'm phoning a cab

'Cause my stomach feels small

There's a taste in my mouth

And it's no taste at all

It could have been me

it could have been me

Why didn't I say,

Why didn't I say,

She's so swishy in her satin and tat

In her frock coat

and bipperty-bopperty hat

Oh my God, I could do better than that
