I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath.
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they said "Pull down" I pulled up
Ooh-ooh growin' up. Ooh-ooh growin' up

has he ever played this verse?

    I love this song, and I've heard many versions of Ed's and he never plays this verse. For good reason, I think - it's unneccessary. The song - if acoustic- is better concise

    David Bowie recorded an amazing full-band version of this song. It's on the Diamond Dogs bonus disc. He does play the 3rd verse following a guitar solo.

    Much better than Springsteen or Vedder's in my opinion. PM me your email address if you want to hear it

    I read that Bowie has done a few Bruce songs. I just started to get into Bowie hardcore and he is amazing!! I have been working my way through his catalog chronologically, I started with Hunky Dory and I am up to "Heroes". I didn't like Young Americans but Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs and Station to Station are some of the best albums ever made!!!

    Bowie singing to Ricky Gervais on Extras was the best thing he ever did!
