[Bowie]
She's just been to Russia and they're dying their faces
They're dying over there
A pretty pink rose
[Belew]
That rock and roll lady takes a space-ship ride
She's out of this world
A pretty pink rose
[Bowie]
And we're living for you, my love
We're living for you
And we're dying for you, my love
Pretty pink rose
She tore down Paris on the tail of Thom Paine
But the left wing's broken, the right's insane
A pretty pink rose
[Belew]
Ah, have a nice day, it's a killer, turn a cheek

A pretty pink rose
[Bowie]

Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
[Both]

Never never let it rain, never let it rain
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose
Never let it rain on the heart
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart, of the pretty pink rose
Take me to the heart, to the heart, to the heart
Never let it rain
