Lyrics:

(D. Bowie)
Producers: Martyn Ware and Greg Walsh
Album: Private Dancer (84)

Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
The times they are a telling and the changing isn't free
You read it in the tea leaves and the tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw in 1984

They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air
They'll tell you that you're eighty and really you won't care
You'll be shooting up on everything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw in 1984

Come see, come see, remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last but I guess we've enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)

I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for a treason that I knew in sixty-five
Beware the savage jaw in 1984

Come see, come see, remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last but I guess we've enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)
