Lyrics and music by David Bowie, Reeves Gabrels and Alex Grant.
VERSE (x2) Grown inside a plastic box Micro thoughts and safety locks Hearts become outdated clocks Ticking in your mind CHORUS What's really happening? What tore us apart? What's really happening? What's really happening? What tore us apart? What's really happening?
