This song was written as a “tribute” to his half-brother, who committed suicide in 1985. He just laid down on the tracks of the Couldon South station and waited for the train to hit him.
David Bowie decided not to go to his funeral, but eight years later he decided to revisit the topic in this song...
[Intro]
When comes the shaking man
A nation in his eyes
Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
Streaking cathedral spire
[Verse 1]
They say
They say
They say
He has no brain
They say
He has no mood
They say
He was born again
They say
Look at him climb
They say jump
They say jump
[Verse 2]
They say
He has two gods
They say
He has no fear
They say
He has no eyes
They say
He has no mouth
[Chorus]
They say 'hey that's really something'
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd
They say jump
They say jump
Watch out!
[Breakdown]
Watch out!
Watch out!
[Chorus]
They say 'hey that's really something'
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd
They say jump
[Outro]
Got to believe somebody
They say jump
Jump
Got to believe somebody
They say jump
Jump
Got to believe
They say jump
Got to believe somebody
Jump
Got to believe
Jump
Got to believe somebody
Jump
Got to believe
Jump
Got to believe somebody
Jump
They say jump
They say jump
They say jump
They say jump
