Family Portrait -PINK

Uh, uh, some deep shit, uh, uh

Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you
said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave

Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound

Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says
its true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love
you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my
family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave

In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her
last name

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do
anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
leave)

Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my
shining star?
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone

Mom will be nicer
I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother
Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night

STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET
(Music & Lyrics: Bowie)

All my friends
Now seem so thin and frail
Slinky secrets
Hotter than the sun
No peachy prayers
No trendy rechauffé
I'm with you
So I can't go on

CHORUS
All my violence
Raining tears upon the sheet
I'm bewildered/resentful
For we're strangers when we meet


Blank screen TV
Preening ourselves in the snow
Forget my name
But I'm over you
Blended sunrise
And it's a dying world
Humming Rheingold
We scavenge up our clothes

CHORUS
Cold tired fingers
Tapping out your memories
Halfway sadness
Dazzled by the new
Your embrace
Was all that I feared
That whirling room
We trade by vendu

Steely resolve
Is falling from me
My poor soul
All bruised passivity
All your regrets
Ride rough-shod over me
I'm so glad
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm so thankful
That we're strangers when we meet
I'm in clover
For we're strangers when we meet
Heel head over
And we're strangers when we mee

ESTRANEI QUANDO CI INCONTRIAMO
(Music & Lyrics: Bowie)
Tutti i miei amici
Ora sembrano così esili e fragili
Segreti sussurrati
Più caldi del sole
Niente preghiere sdolcinate
Niente capelli all'ultima moda
Sono con te
Così non posso andare avanti

RITORNELLO
Tutta la mia violenza
Piove in lacrime sulle lenzuola
Sono disorientato/risentito
Perché siamo estranei quando ci incontriamo

Tv con schermo nero
Lisciandoci le penne nella neve
Dimentica il mio nome
Perché sono oltre te
Un'alba sciolta
Ed è un mondo che muore
Ronzante oro del Reno
Spazziamo via i nostri vestiti

RITORNELLO
Fredde stanche dita
Ti spillano ricordi
Una tristezza a metà
Abbagliata dal nuovo
Il tuo abbraccio
Era tutto quello che temevo
Quella stanza vorticante
Che barattammo per venduta

La fermezza di ferro
Sta crollando
La mia povera anima
È una passività frantumata
Tutti i tuoi rimorsi
Corrono a passi pesanti su di me
Sono così felice
Che siamo estranei quando ci incontriamo
Sono così grato
Che siamo estranei quando ci incontriamo
Sono a mio agio
Perché siamo estranei quando ci incontriamo
Giro sui tacchi
E siamo estranei quando ci incontriamo
