(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

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 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

AH AH AH
