Blackstar
David Bowie
In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle ah-ah ah-ah In the centre of it all in the centre of it all Your eyes On the day of execution on the day of execution Only women kneel and smile ah-ah ah-ah At the centre of it all at the centre of it all Your eyes your eyes Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle ah-ah ah-ah In the centre of it all in the centre of it all Your eyes Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place and bravely cried (I?m a blackstar I?m a blackstar) How many times does an angel fall? How many people lie instead of talking tall? He trod on sacred ground he cried loud into the crowd (I?m a blackstar I?m a blackstar I?m not a gangster) I can?t answer why (I?m a blackstar) Just go with me (I?m not a filmstar) I?m-a take you home (I?m a blackstar) Take your passport and shoes (I?m not a popstar) And your sedatives boo (I?m a blackstar) You?re a flash in the pan (I?m not a marvel star) I?m the great I am (I?m a blackstar) I?m a blackstar way up oh honey I?ve got game I see right so white so open-heart it?s pain I want eagles in my daydreams diamonds in my eyes (I?m a blackstar I?m a blackstar) Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place and bravely cried (I?m a blackstar I?m a blackstar) I can?t answer why (I?m not a gangster) But I can tell you how (I?m not a flam star) We were born upside-down (I?m a star star) Born the wrong way ?round (I?m not a white star) (I?m a blackstar I?m not a gangster I?m a blackstar I?m a blackstar I?m not a pornstar I?m not a wandering star I?m a blackstar I?m a blackstar) In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle Ah-ah ah-ah At the centre of it all your eyes On the day of execution only women kneel and smile Ah-ah ah-ah At the centre of it all your eyes your eyes Ah-ah-ah
