Blackstar

David Bowie

7

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

Something happened on the day he died

Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside

Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried

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 can't answer why

Just go with me

I'm-a take you home

Take your passport and shoes

And your sedatives, boo

You're a flash in the pan

I'm the great I am

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

Something happened on the day he died

Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside

Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried

I can't answer why

But I can tell you how

We were born upside-down

Born the wrong way 'round

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
