Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared. She asked me to stay And I stole her room She asked for my love And I gave her a dangerous mind Now she's stupid in the street And she can't socialise Well I love the little girl And I'll love her till the day she dies. She wails Jimmy's guitar sound Jealousies scream Waiting at the light know what I mean. Bowie compares the uncertainty of his upcoming career in the 80s to the anxiety one feels when entering a relationship. In a promo interview for the album, he stated that the song was from the perspective of the man, and his conflicted feelings about his influence on the girl. This theme of anxiety and self-doubt continues throughout Scary Monsters, making this an essential title track. It was released as the 3rd single for the album, with B-side Because You’re Young.
