Blackstar - David Bowie
Written by: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
Your eyes
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 star star 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
