David Bowie - Sunday

Nothing remains
We could run when the rain slows
Look for the cars or signs of life
Where the heat goes

Look for the drifters
We should crawl under the bracken
Look for the shafts of light
On the road where the heat goes

Everything has changed

For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed

For in truth, it's the beginning of an end
And nothing has changed
Everything has changed

(In your fear)
In your fear
(Seek only peace)
Of what we have become
(In your fear)
(Seek only love)
Take to the fire
(In your fear)
Now we must burn
(seek only peace)
All that we are
(In your fear)
(Seek only love)
Rise together
(In your fear)
(In your fear)
Through these clouds
As on wings
(As on wings)

Ohh ohh
Ohh ohh

This is the trip
And this the business we take
This is our number
All my trials
Lord, will be remembered

Everything has changed

David Bowie - Cactus

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissing and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Just run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you're dying

"D" - "A" - "V" - "I" - "D"

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

David Bowie - Slip Away

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are
Whoa ohh ohh

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Ohh ohh ohh

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Ohh ohh
What's a matter with you

C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Ohh ohh

Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are
Ohh ohh ohh
Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Ohh ohh ohh

David Bowie - Slow Burn

Here shall we live in this terrible town
Where the price for our eyes shall squeeze them tight like a fist
And the walls shall have eyes
And the doors shall have ears
But we'll dance in the dark
And they'll play with our lives

Like a slow burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a slow burn
Turning us round and round and round

But who are we
So small in times such as these
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

Oh, these are the days
These are the strangest of all
These are the nights
These are the darkest to fall

But who knows?
Echoes in tenement halls
Who knows?
Though the years snare them all

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Twirling us round and round and upside down

There's fear overhead
There's fear overground
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Turning us round and round and round

And here are we
At the center of it all
Slow Burn
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

David Bowie - Afraid

I wish I was smarter
I got so lost on the shore
I wish I was taller
Things really matter to me

But I put my face in tomorrow
I believe we're not alone
I believe in Beatles
I believe my little soul has grown

And I'm still
So afraid
Yes, I'm still
So afraid
Yeah, I'm still
So afraid
On my own
On my own

What made my life so wonderful?
What made me feel so bad?
I used to wake up the ocean
I used to walk on clouds

If I put faith in medication
If I can smile a crooked smile
If I can talk on television
If I can walk an empty mile

Then I won't
Feel afraid
No, I won't
Feel afraid
I won't be
Be afraid
Anymore

Anymore
And then I just won't be afraid
Anymore
And then I just won't be afraid

David Bowie - I've Been Waiting For You

(I’ve been looking)
(I’ve been looking)

I've been looking
For a woman
To save my life
Not to beg or to borrow

A woman with the feeling
Of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be, be tomorrow

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now

A woman with the feeling
Of losing once or twice
Who knows how it could be, be tomorrow

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now
For such a long time now

David Bowie - I Would Be Your Slave

Walking in the snowy stream
Let me understand
Drifting down a silent path
Stumbling over land
Open up your heart to me
Show me who you are
And I would be your slave

Do you sleep in quietude
Do you walk in peace
Do you laugh out loud at me
No one else is free
Open up your heart to me
Show me all you are
And I would be your slave

I don't sit and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand

I bet you laugh out loud at me
A chance to strike me down
Give me peace of mind at last
Show me all you are
Open up your heart to me
I will be your slave

I don't sit around and wait
I don't give a damn
I don't see the point at all
No footprints in the sand

I will give you all my love
Nothing else is free
Open up your heart to me
And I would be your slave

David Bowie - I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship

Took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I passed through the shadow of Jupiter
(sigh)
And I thought about you

I shot my spacegun
And boy, I really felt blue

Two or three flying saucers
Parked under the stars
The winding stream
Moon shining down
On some little town
And with each beam
The same old dream

Took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
Well I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you

Pulled down my sun visor
Boy, I really felt blue

You jumped into your Gemini
I jumped into mine
We'll orbit the Moon
For just one time
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Will you hold hands
With me under the moonlight?

Took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you

I took a, I took a walk in space
Boy, I really felt blue

Well I peeped through the crack
And looked way back
Stardust trail leading back to you
What did I do
What could I do
Yes, what did I do

Well
I thought about you
I thought about you

Took a trip on a Gemini spacecraft
Thought about you

David Bowie - 5:15 Angles Have Gone

5:15
I'm changing trains
This little town
Let me down
This foreign rain
Brings me down
5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone
No ticket
I'm jumping tracks
I'm changing time

We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore only you

5:15
All of my life
Angels have gone
I'm changing trains
Angels like them
Thin on the ground
All of my life
All legs and wings
Swings turn the eyes

5:15
Train overdue
Angels have gone

We never talk anymore
Forever I will adore only you

Cold station all of my life
Forever I’m out of here forever

David Bowie - Everyone Says Hi

Said you'd took a big trip
They said you moved away
Happened oh so quietly, they say

Should've took a picture
Something I could keep
Buy a little frame, something cheap
For you
Everyone says hi

Said you sailed a big ship
Said you sailed away
Didn't know the right thing to say

I'd love to get a letter
Like to know what's what
Hope the weather's good and it's not too hot
For you

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
Everyone says

Don't stay in a sad place
Where they don't care how you are
Everyone says hi

If the money is lousy
You can always come home
We can do the old things
(Doo wap wap wha oo)
We can do all the bad things
(Doo wap wap)
If the food gets too eerie
You can always phone home
We could do all the good things
(Doo wap wap wha oo)
We could do it, we could do it, we could do it
(Doo wap wap oooo)

Don't stay in a bad place
Where they don't care how you are
Everyone says hi

Everyone says hi
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And the girl next door
(Everyone says hi)
And the guy upstairs
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And your mum and dad
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
And your big fat dog
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says hi
(Everyone says hi)
Everyone says

David Bowie - A Better Future

Please don't tear this world asunder
Please take back this fear we're under
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop wanting you
I might just stop wanting you

Please make sure we get tomorrow
All this pain, all this sorrow
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop needing you
I might just stop needing you

Give my children sunny smiles
Give them warm and cloudless skies
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop loving you, loving you, loving you

When you talk
We talk too
When you walk
We walk too

From factory to field
How many tears must fall
Down here below
Nothing is moving

I might just stop wanting you
I might just stop needing you
I might just stop loving you

I demand a better future
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
For I might just stop loving you
Loving you, loving you

I demand a better future
I demand a better future
I demand a better future
Or I might just stop loving you
Loving you, loving you

I demand a better future

David Bowie - Heathen (The Rays)

Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Ooh-ohh

Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
Ooh-ohh
Ooh-ohh

You say you'll leave me

And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
Ooh-ohh
Ooh-ohh
