There is the cheap trick of the title, but it is the entirety of the lyrics that grabs me, along with how Mr. Bowie spaces out the messages, the movement of the melody like the upswinging splatters of the spray paint; the way I embody the ultimate vision and project the comments on society:
What to wear
What to say
What to do on a sunny day
Who to phone
Who to fight
Who to dance with on a sunday night?
Reaching the very edge you know
Reaching the very edge
I'm going to the other side of this town
Reaching the very edge
You're still breathing but you don't know why
Life's a bit and sometimes you die
You're still breathing but you just can't tell
Don't hold your breath
But the pretty things are going to hell
I am a drug I am a dragon
I am your best jazz you've ever seen
I am the dragon I am the sky
I am the blood at the corner of your eye
I found the secrets I found gold
I found you out before you grow old
I found you out before you grow old
What is eternal
What is damned
What is clay and what is sand?
Who to dis
Who to trust
Who to listen to?
And who to suss
I'm reaching the very edge you know
I'm reaching the very edge
I'm going to the other side of this town
I'm reaching the very edge
The pretty things are going to hell
They wore him out
But they wore him well
His music always provokes deep thought and images in my mind although I I really should have mentioned Michael Jackson somewhere, perhaps from him I would pick Shout or Morphine.

I'm sorry, but I just can't see Bill Nye the Science Guy having sex. I think he reproduces by budding.
