David Bowie – Blackstar: Lyrics and Music Video
Blackstar Lyrics
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
Your 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
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 center of it all, in the center of it all
Your eyes
Ah-ah-ah
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’m-a 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 star’s star, i’m a blackstar)
I can’t answer why (i’m not a gangstar)
But i can tell you how (i’m not a flam 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 wandering star
I’m a blackstar, i’m a blackstar)
In the villa of ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

Fashion
