David Bowie - What's Really Happening Lyrics






Grown inside a plastic box
Micro thoughts and safety locks
Hearts become outdated clocks
Ticking in your mind

[CHORUS]
What's really happening?
what tore us apart?
What's really happening?
What's really happening?
what tore us apart?
What's really happening?

Now it's time to close our eyes
Now it's time to say goodbye
Now it's time to face the lie
That we'd never cry

[CHORUS]

All the clouds are made of glass
And they're slowly sinking
Falling like the shattered past
Were we built to last?

[CHORUS]

    Picnicl well yeah. . I always wondered how it was this one that won the competition. It was always the song i skipped on the cd. Very derivative

    He actually didn't write this he held a writing contest and this is the winner's song. I think it's beautiful and Bowie gives it beautiful vocals. You can find a video titled "Bowie in the studio" and it shows him recording this and it shows the winner.

    *The Winner of The Contest Alex Grant wrote lyrics for three of the verses

    @Colin Nicholas Yep. I would like to point out the fact that any of us who took part in the contest actually wrote a song with Bowie. Only it got never recorded. At least that's my take on things, when I look at the set of lyrics I wrote to his backing track. :-)

    @HoraceScope I suppose that's A Beautiful Delusion :)

    @Colin Nicholas It is! 😊
