Five Years是《Ziggy Stardust》的第一首歌，在简洁的钢琴伴奏下，David Bowie将整个故事的背景娓娓道来。某天，人们突然被告知这样一个噩耗：五年后世界即将毁灭。歌曲是从一位少年的视角入手，他走在大街上，看到人们全部都失魂落魄、痛哭流涕。在电视的偶像节目中，在电话的窃窃私语中，人们谈论的永远是这个话题。很多人都濒临疯狂的边缘，一个姑娘拼命的殴打她的孩子，如果不是有人把她推到一边去那孩子一定会被打死；还有一个断臂的士兵，他一直在盯着一辆凯迪拉克的车轮，没准他下一个动作就是冲过去……
地球的毁灭与人类的堕落，究竟孰因孰果？歌曲里并没有答案，只有Bowie惨痛的嚎叫。“我们只有五年的时间了，”Bowie在最后唱到。他无法像歌曲最开始那样从容了，他的声音开始失控，带上了哭腔。

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.'s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people
穿过市场广场，许多母亲在叹息。
新年刚刚来到，我们还剩下充满泪水的五年。
刚刚得到消息，我们还剩下充满泪水的五年。
新来的人哭着告诉我们：地球真的要毁灭了。
泪水打湿了他的脸，那时候我才知道他没有说谎。
我听见电话声，剧院的音乐声，和我最喜爱的歌声 ；
我看见男孩，玩具，电熨斗＆电视。
我的头又胀又疼，仿佛它再也没有多余的空间；
为了能记住所有的事，我不得不把许多东西都往它里边填：
所有的胖的瘦的，高的矮的人们；
所有的著名的无名的人们；
我从来没有想过我会需要这么多的人。
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that
一个和我一样大的女孩失去理智，在打一些很小的小孩
我想如果不是一个黑人把她拉开，也许她会杀了他们
一个手臂受伤的士兵盯着一辆Cadillac的车轮
一个巡警在亲一个牧师的脚，看见这一幕，一个同性恋者呕吐起来
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
我想我在一个冰淇淋店看见你了，很长时间，你默默地喝着的牛奶
你微笑着招手，看起来很好，我不认为这样
你知道你被写进了这首歌里
那时天气很冷，还下着雨，所以我感觉自己像一个演员
我想起了妈妈，我想回到她身边
你的面容，你的肤色，你说话的样子
我吻你，你很漂亮，我想让你散散步
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got

我们有五年时间，看着我的眼睛
五年，多么让人惊奇
我们有五年时间，我的头很疼
五年，那就是我们的所有
