David Bowie - Blackstar lyrics

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen

Stands a solitary candle.

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.

At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all

Your eyes, your eyes.

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen

Stands a solitary candle.

In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all

Your eyes.

Something happened on the day he died,

Spirit rose a meter 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 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 gangstar'

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 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 meter and stepped aside,

Somebody else took his place and bravely cried,

‘I'm a blackstar, 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 star's star,

Born the wrong way ‘round, I'm not a whitestar,

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 wandering star,

I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar!

In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle,

At the centre of it all your eyes,

On the day of execution only women kneel and smile,

At the centre of it all your eyes, your eyes.
