DAVID BOWIE - Blackstar lyrics

rate me

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen

Stands a solitary candle, ah ah, ah ah

In the center of it all, in the center of it all

Ur 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

Ur eyes, ur eyes

​

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen

Stands a solitary candle, ah ah, ah ah

In the center of it all, in the center of it all

Ur eyes

​

Somethin' 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 talkin' tall?

He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud 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)

I’m-a take u home (I’m a blackstar)

Take ur passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar)

And ur 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, 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)

​

Somethin' 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's star, I’m a blackstar)

​

I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangstar)

But I can tell u how (I’m not a film star)

We were born upside-down (I’m a star's star)

Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star)

(I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar)

(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

(I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wanderin' star)

(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle

At the center of it all, ur eyes

On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile

At the center of it all, ur eyes, ur eyes
