David Bowie – Conversation Piece

David Bowie – Conversation Piece Lyrics

Artist: David Bowie
Song: Conversation Piece

I took this walk to ease my mind
To find out what’s gnawing at me
And wouldn’t think to look at me
That I’ve spent a lot of time in education

All seems so long ago
I’m a thinker not a talker
I’ve no-one to talk to anyway
I can’t see the road

For the rain in my eyes
I live above the grocer’s store
Owned by an Austrian
He often calls me down to eat

And he jokes about his broken English
Tries to be a friend to me
But for all my years of reading conversation
I stand without a word to say

I can’t see the bridge
For the rain in my eyes
And the world is full of life
Full of folk who don’t know me

And they walk in twos or threes or more
While the light that shines above the grocer’s store
Investigates my face so rudely
And my essays lying scattered on the floor

Fulfill their needs just by being there
And my hands shake my head hurts
My voice sticks inside my throat
I’m invisible and dumb and no one will recall me

And I can’t see the water
Through the tears in my eyes
