Lyrics
0:00★ - David Bowie
0:15In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen
0:23Stands a solitary candle ah ah ah ah
0:32In the centre of it all in the centre of it all
0:40Your eyes
0:56On the day of execution on the day of execution
1:03Only women kneel and smile ah ah ah ah
1:13At the centre of it all at the centre of it all
1:20Your eyes your eyes
1:36Ah ah ah
2:20Ah ah ah
2:36In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen
2:43Stands a solitary candle ah ah ah ah
2:52In the centre of it all in the centre of it all
3:00Your eyes
3:08Your eyes
3:16Ah ah ah
4:42Something happened on the day he died
4:46Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
4:50Somebody else took his place and bravely cried
4:56I'm a blackstar I'm a blackstar
5:01How many times does an angel fall
5:06How many people lie instead of talking tall
5:10He trod on sacred ground he cried loud into the crowd
5:15I'm a blackstar I'm a blackstar I'm not a gangster
5:23I can't answer why I'm a blackstar
5:27Just go with me I'm not a filmstar
5:32I'm a take you home I'm a blackstar
5:37Take your passport and shoes I'm not a popstar
5:42And your sedatives boo I'm a blackstar
5:47You're a flash in the pan I'm not a marvel star
5:52I'm the great I am I'm a blackstar
5:58I'm a blackstar way up oh honey I've got game
6:02I see right so white so open heart it's pain
6:07I want eagles in my daydreams diamonds in my eyes
6:12I'm a blackstar I'm a blackstar
6:17Something happened on the day he died
6:22Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
6:26Somebody else took his place and bravely cried
6:31I'm a blackstar I'm a star star I'm a blackstar
6:38I can't answer why I'm not a gangster
6:43But I can tell you how I'm not a flam star
6:48We were born upside down I'm a star star
6:53Born the wrong way 'round I'm not a white star
6:58I'm a blackstar I'm not a gangster
7:05I'm a blackstar I'm a blackstar
7:12I'm not a pornstar I'm not a wandering star
7:22I'm a blackstar I'm a blackstar
7:43In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle
7:51Ah ah ah ah
8:00At the centre of it all your eyes
8:17On the day of execution only women kneel and smile
8:25Ah ah ah ah
8:35At the centre of it all your eyes your eyes
9:01Ah ah ah
