I met her in a subway in a thunderstorm
She had a frozen kind of smile just like a uniform
I tried to hide my eyes so I could save my life
But there was no way I could fail to miss the point of her
Sleek Bowie knife.

She said, 'let's start taking these arguments apart'
I said, 'but arguments are part of me, don't break my heart,'
She said 'I break, I make, I take it as a sign of life,'
'You know that you could be a Hero if you grip that
Sleek Bowie knife'…

Chorus:
Cut a dash Take a stab
Sharpen up You're too drab
Drop a coin into the juke
Here he comes - the Thin White Duke

She said, 'there's a seat by the window on the gravy train
And you don't want to be left with the crumbs again
You know you're spread too thin on your slice of life
You could have it on a plate if you used that
Sleek Bowie knife'...

Chorus

Disguise the guy's in many guises
And genies is paying
Vanished genies, who knows where
Alladin isn't saying

It's your task to ask behind the mask
You just might find a starman
He's here today to who knows where
You just can't go too far man

Chorus

She said, 'You only have to jump to be a superstar'
Then she left me with a bump outside a cinema
So now I keep my time to leap to live this kind of life
And I'm lost to live forever on the edge of that
Sleek Bowie knife.
