[Verse 1]
There's too much talking for a night drive
Too much mist in front of my eyes
I'm trying not to lose control
But you're just pushing for a fight
You look trapped, turn the radio on
Too much smoke, air conditioning gone

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm helpless in love with you
But you're just looking, looking, looking for a break

[Chorus]
Is it love or is it what
Who's this guy I'm going to blow away (ay)
What kind of love is he giving you
I'mma dizzy's
What I'm trying to say
(I said I'm) too dizzy
You can't have a lover
I'm too dizzy
It's me or no other
I'm a bad loser
I'm shaking in anger
I'mma too dizzy
You can't have no lover

[Verse 2]
Don't come any harder
Don't come any closer
You can go on dreaming every night
But I'm not letting you out of my sight
I'm ten times the man than any guy around
But you're just itching, twitching, itching for a break
There's too much talking for a night drive
Too much mist in front of my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm helpless in love with you
But you're just looking, looking, looking for a break

[Chorus]
Is it love or is it what
Who's this guy I'm going to blow away
What kind of love is he giving you
I'm a dizzy's
What I'm trying to say
Too dizzy
You can't have a lover
I'm too dizzy
It's me or no other
(Oh) I'm a bad loser
I'm shaking in anger
I said I'm too dizzy
You can't have no lover

[Outro]
I said I'm too dizzy (don't come any harder)
I said I'm too dizzy (don't come any closer)
I said I'm too dizzy
(I said I'm) too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
You can't have no lover (oh no)
Too dizzy
Too dizzy
I'm too dizzy

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
