The Supermen
David Bowie
THE SUPERMEN from The Man Who Sold The World Ooh ah Ooh ah Ooh ah Ooh ah Ooh ah When all the world was very young And mountain magic heavy hung The supermen would walk in file Guardians of a loveless isle And gloomy browed with super fear C Esus4 Their tragic endless lives could heave nor sigh In solemn perverse serenity Wonderous beings chained to life CHORUS 1: Strange games they would play then No death for the perfect men Life rolls into one for them So softly a super God cries Ooh ah Ooh ah Where all were minds in uni-thought Power weird by mystics taught No pain no joy no power too great Colossal strength to grasp a fate Where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber C Esus4 Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold Man would tear his brothers flesh A chance to die to turn to mould CHORUS 2: Far out in the red sky Far out from the sad eyes Strange mad celebration So softly a super God cries SOLO: CHORUS 3: Far out in the red sky Far out from the sad eyes Strange mad celebration So softly a super God cries
