Battle for Britain (The Letter) David Bowie

[Verse 1]
My, my, the time do fly when it's in another pair of hands
And a loser I will be for I've never been a winner in my life
I got used to stressing pain, I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it's the animal in me, but I'd rather be a beggar man on the shelf

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
And I'll walk you through the doors
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm

[Chorus]
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

[Verse 2]
My, my, but time do fly when it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner, la di da

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
