David Bowie - Bring me the disco king which is available on the album Reality by David Bowie, credit to Alex Kuznetsov for the original upload on another site.

Lyrics courtesy of azlyrics.com -
You promised me the ending would be clear
You'd let me know when the time was now
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear

Memories that flutter like bats out of hell
Stab you from the city spires
Life wasn't worth the balance
Or the crumpled paper it was written on

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible

Hot cash days that you trailed around
Cold cold nights under chrome and glass
Led me down river of perfumed limbs
Sent me to the streets with the good time girls

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible
We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire

Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Dead or alive, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king

Spin-offs with those who slept like corpses
Damp morning rays in the stiff bad clubs
Killing time in the '70s
Smelling of love through the moist winds
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Close me in the dark, let me disappear
Soon there'll be nothing left of me
Nothing left to release

Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Dead or alive, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king.

Wow, this is so much better than the new version. Miles more class. The new one is kinda kitsch. This is sexy.

When did this come out exactly?

[anewbie6]

My dad use to play this song in his car when I was like 8, lol. For years I had forgotten about it, then today it randomly got stuck in my head. O.O

@DANTECHPFN Yeah, you get the meaning... Note his last words: Soon there will be nothing left of me, nothing left to release....

[ferdinandsouz]

This version is sexy? This is a very sad version, its the final statement of a great musician: Soon there will be nothing left of me, nothing left to realease....

Love this version, best track. I just listened to the remix, its alright, but the more bowie has to do with the birth of a song the more I like, I don't like listing to songs that feature other "artists" its like watering down a masterpiece. Love.

[mikey777666]

FEED ME NO LIES!!!!!

i don't know about you, I don't know about you...

[DANTECHPFN]

bowie was gone after this song, sad moment ...great song !!! Bowie is god !

[wretchedromance666]

I love, LOVE, love this man!!! He's a f*cking genius, this song is sooooo smooth. Nobody can do it like Bowie can!

[minalucy1992]

@Whitedusk225 So what's your opinion on this piece? Because it's not written in that particular period but it's not pop, is it? Please answer this, I'm really interested. :) I mostly feel the same way about music (I'm currently only listening to the 60's radio on Spotify), but I find this song rather interesting!

[MrSeattlebound]

Remix all the way, feels more epic but this would fit so well in the background of some period piece movie, would have fit perfectly in Sucker Punch

[Periphery100]

great kick drum sound

David, où es-tu?
