- Album: Reality - Lyrics and music by David Bowie Tragic youth was looking young and sexy The tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief The tragic youth was going down on me And I swear Woo hoo Yes I swear I built a wall of sound to separate us And hid among the junk of wretched highs I sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha Struggling for reality Ha ha ha ha Woo hoo Ha ha ha ha Whoo hoo Hey, now my sight is failing in this twilight Da da da da da da da da da Now my death is more than just a sad song Da da da da da da da da da And I swear Woo hoo Yes I swear Woo hoo I still don't remember how this happened I still don't get the wherefores and the whys I look for sense but I get next to nothing Hey boy welcome to reality Ha ha ha ha Woo hoo I've been right and I've been wrong Now I'm back where I started from Never looked over reality's shoulder Ha ha ha ha Huh ha ha ha Woo hoo Huh ha ha Wooh Woo hoo Wooh
