Blackstar
|

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 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 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 metre 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 film 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 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 |

'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore
|
|
Man, she punched me like a dude Hold your mad hands, I cried 'Tis a pity she was a whore 'Tis my curse, I suppose That was patrol That was patrol This is the war Black struck the kiss, she kept my cock Smote the mistress, drifting on 'Tis a pity she was a whore She stole my purse, with rattling speed That was patrol This is the war 'Tis a pity she was a whore Man, she punched me like a dude Hold your mad hands, I cried 'Tis a pity she was a whore 'Tis my fate, I suppose For, that was patrol That was patrol 'Tis a pity she was a whore 'Tis a pity she was a whore |

Lazarus

|
Look up here, I'm in heaven I've got scars that can't be seen I've got drama, can't be stolen Everybody knows me now Look up here, man, I'm in danger I've got nothing left to lose I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl Dropped my cell phone down below Ain't that just like me? By the time I got to New York I was living like a king Then I used up all my money I was looking for your ass This way or no way You know I'll be free Just like that bluebird Now, ain't that just like me? Oh, I'll be free Just like that bluebird Oh, I'll be free Ain't that just like me |

Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)
|
|
Sue I got the job We'll buy the house You'll need to rest But now we'll make it Sue The clinic called The x-ray's fine I brought you home I just said home Sue, you said you want it written Sue, the virgin on your stone For your grave Why too dark to speak the words? For, I know that you have a son Oh, folly, Sue Ride the train, I'm far from home In a season of crime none need atone I kissed your face Sue, I've pushed you down beneath the weeds Endless faith in hopeless deeds I kissed your face I touched your face Sue, goodbye Sue, I found your note That you wrote last night It can't be right You went with him Sue, I never dreamed I'm such a fool Right from the start You went with that clown |

Dollar Days

|
Cash girls suffer me, I've got no enemies I'm walking down It's nothing to me It's nothing to see If I never see the English evergreens I'm running to It's nothing to me It's nothing to see I'm dying to Push their backs against the grain And fool them all again and again I'm trying to We bitches tear our magazines Those Oligarchs with foaming mouths phone Now and then Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you I'm trying to I'm dying to Dollar days, survival sex Honour stretching tails to necks I'm falling down It's nothing to me It's nothing to see If I never see the English evergreens I'm running to It's nothing to me It's nothing to see I'm dying to Push their backs against the grain And fool them all again and again I'm trying to It's all gone wrong but on and on The bitter nerve ends never end I'm falling down Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you I'm trying to I'm dying to I'm trying to I'm dying to |

I Can't Give Everything Away
|
|
I know something is very wrong The pulse returns for prodigal sons The blackout's hearts with flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes I can't give everything I can't give everything Away Seeing more and feeling less Saying no but meaning yes This is all I ever meant That's the message that I sent I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I know something is very wrong The pulse returns for prodigal sons The blackout's hearts with flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes I can't give everything I can't give everything Away |
