Written by:David Bowie
In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle ah ah ah ah
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 ah ah ah ah
At the centre of it all at the centre 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 centre of it all in the centre of it all
Your eyes
Your eyes
Ah ah ah
Something 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 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 gangster
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 oh honey I've got game
I see right so white so open heart it's 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 metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place and bravely cried
I'm a blackstar I'm a star star I'm a blackstar
I can't answer why I'm not a gangster
But I can tell you how I'm not a flam star
We were born upside down I'm a star star
Born the wrong way 'round I'm not a white star
I'm a blackstar I'm not a gangster
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 centre of it all your eyes
On the day of execution only women kneel and smile
Ah ah ah ah
At the centre of it all your eyes your eyes
Ah ah ah
