about

A little Bowie homage, written and recorded the night after he died, January 2016.

lyrics

When the star collapsed
There was music everywhere
And I can't recall
Another sadder day

When the star collapsed
Faces melted in despair
Mountains folded down
In rushed frozen space

Oooo
You're so lovely standing there
I wish memory
Didn't end with me

Oooo
You're such a beauty standing there

Stand up stand up
Take a picture
Stand up stand up
Put it on the screen
You're too weird for me
But I'm getting weirder
Open those eyes again
C'mon and make a scene

Only seconds left
Held your secret like a breath
Til the body failed
And the star was left

When the star collapsed
The sky went white and hot the air
Burned like mercury
Well darling c'est la vie
