Blackstar

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 center of it all, at the center 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 At the center of it all, at the center of it all Your eyes Your eyes Ah ah ah Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre then 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'ma 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 wide, so open-hearted 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 then 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) ('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 --- Blackstar - David Bowie
