These are febuiles' notes on Diamond Dogs by David Bowie.

This ain't rock 'n' roll
This is genocide!


As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent
You asked for the latest party

With a silicon hump and your ten-inch stump [1]
Dressed like a priest you was, Todd Browning's freak he was [2]
Crawling down the alley on your hands and knees
I'm know you're not protected for it's plain to see
The Diamond Dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with killer pin

(Here they come) I keep a friend serene
(Here they come) Oh, baby, come unto me
(Here they come) Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the doorway, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs [3]
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

That Halloween Jack is a real cool cat
And he lives on top of Manhattan Chase
The elevator's broke, so he slides down a rope
Onto the street below, oh Tarzan, go man go

Meets his little hussey with his ghost town approach
Her face her saddest feature but she wears a Dali brooch
Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake
Wrecked up and paralysed, Diamond Dogs are civilised

(Here they come) I keep a friend serene
(Here they come) Oh, baby, come unto me
(Here they come) Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the doorway, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo, call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo, call them the Diamond Dogs

Ooooooooh ...

In the year of the scavenger, season of the bitch
They sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
(There's gonna be sirens) Try and wake up tomorrow

(Here they come) I keep a friend serene
(Here they come) Oh, baby, come unto me
(Here they come) Well, she's come, been, and gone

Come out of the doorway, baby
You'll catch your death in the fog
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs
Young girl, they call them the Diamond Dogs

Woo-ooh-hoo-oo, call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo, call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo, call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo, call them the Diamond Dogs

Call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo call them the Diamond Dogs
Yeah ... oo-ooh-hoo-oo call them the Diamond Dogs
Woo-ooh-hoo-oo call them the Diamond Dogs, call them, they call them

Keep cool!
Diamond Dogs rule
OK?

Beware of the Diamond Dogs
Beware of the Diamond Dogs*
Beware of the Diamond Dogs, yeah. oh
Beware of the Diamond Dogs, yeah, oh

[1] 10" cocks are hard to come by these days.

[2] Wanna see how deep these first few lines go? The oxygen tent means that this someone's coming out of a surgery. A silicon hump and a 10" stump means that he/she now has boobs and a penis. He/she's dressed as a priest (the robe you get on clinics) and he looks like a "Todd Browning's freak". Browning directed a movie called Freaks in 1932 which focused on carnival freaks. Those are just the first four lines (!), isn't this Bowie guy something?

[3] Quoting from Wikipedia:

Diamond was, according to legend, Sir Isaac Newton's favorite dog, which, by upsetting a candle, set fire to manuscripts containing his notes on experiments conducted over the course of twenty years.
