Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Oh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget
Oh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
"Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" is a song by David Bowie, originally released as the closing track on the album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" in June 1972.
Although Bowie has suggested Baudelaire as his source, the lyrics "Time takes a cigarette..." originate with the poem "Chants Andalous" by Manuel Machado:
"Life is a cigarette / Cinder, ash and fire / Some smoke it in a hurry / Others savour it" - "La vida es un cigarillo / Hierno, ceniza y candela / Unos la fuman de prisa / Y algunos la saborean".
The exhortation "Oh no, love, you're not alone" references the Jacques Brel song "You're Not Alone" ("Jef") that appeared in the musical "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris". Bowie also covered Brel's "My Death" during some Ziggy Stardust live shows, and performed "Amsterdam" live on the BBC.
