This song took me two hours to figure out. It is probably, in my opinion,
one of the greatest David Bowie songs. It is off of -Space Oddity- and
quite a track coming in at over nine minutes. It is quite a piece moving
through so many key changes and other things. Those are things
characteristic of -Space Oddity-, figuring out songs off that album is
quite difficult. I was quite frustrated trying to get some of it but now
that I got all of it, I am quite proud and happy I did it. I am typing
this on a word processor program that does not show any quotation or
apostrophe marks. So to not cause any confusion on the lyrics, I will
use a ~ for an apostrophe and ~~ for both open and closed quotation marks.
I took the lyrics right off of the album and even capitalized a lot of
things that were capitalized on the album sleeve. I hope you enjoy this,
(it took me a really strenuous long time to do but I did enjoy doing it
anyway):

As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows

Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command

But not hearing anymore-
Am F
Not hearing anymore

Just the shrieks from the old rich

In the madness that calls ~Now~
