(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
AT THE CENTRE OF IT ALL
AT THE CENTRE OF IT ALL
YOUR EYES
YOUR EYES

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 ALOUD INTO THE CROWD
I’M A BLACKSTAR
I’M A BLACKSTAR
I’M NOT A GANGSTAR
I CAN’T ANSWER WHY
I’M A BLACKSTAR
JUST GO WITH ME
I’M NOT A FILMSTAR
IMMA 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 THE FLASH IN THE PAN
I’M NOT A MARVELSTAR
I’M THE GREAT I AM
I’M A BLACKSTAR
I’M A BLACKSTAR I’M WAY UP, ON MONEY, I’VE GOT GAME
I SEE RIGHT, SO WIDE, SO OPEN-HEARTED 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 STARSTAR
I’M A BLACKSTAR
I CAN’T ANSWER WHY
I’M NOT A GANGSTAR
BUT I CAN TELL YOU HOW
I’M NOT A FLAMSTAR
WE WERE BORN UPSIDE DOWN
I’M A STARS STAR
BORN THE WRONG WAY ROUND
I’M NOT A WHITESTAR
I’M A BLACKSTAR
OO OO OO OO
I’M NOT A GANGSTAR
I’M A BLACKSTAR
I’M A BLACKSTAR
OO OO OO OO
I’M NOT A PORNSTAR
I’M NOT A WANDERING STAR
OO OO OO OO
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
