Search and Destroy (Bowie Mix) [2023 Remaster] Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb
I am a world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys

[Refrain]
Honey, gotta help me, please
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, detonate for me, oh

[Verse 2]
Look out, honey, 'cause I'm using technology
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a firefight

[Pre-Chorus]
Honey, gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind

[Chorus]
And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's sеarchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey, I'm thе world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin' only to destroy, hey
[Verse 2]
Look out, honey, 'cause I'm using technology
Ain't got time to make no apology
Soul radiation in the dead of night
Love in the middle of a firefight

[Pre-Chorus]
Honey, gotta strike me blind
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby, penetrate my mind

[Chorus]
And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy
And honey, I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy

[Outro]
Forgotten boy, forgotten boy
Forgotten boy, said, uh
Hey, forgotten boy, said
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Baby, baby, babe, hey, yeah
Aw, baby, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
