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 blackstar)

Nothing has changed The wind still moves
In its wild tempo
Thum Thum Thum
And the earth still shakes ever so gently
And the cries of the millions who wiped their tears
Are now mere smudges to be washed as the days
Go by
For nothing has changed and the Wind
Is still Wild, and we have lost The Man Who Sold The World

He fell to earth as Stardust that we all are
But he was more, a man so much more 
A lad insane, A Thin White Duke, Low,
A SuperCreep, even the mythical Pierrot,
A Lodger, Heathen, but always Swinging, Our Hero
A prophet ever fearful but feared by none
And loved by all Our David

Has bowed his last Bow

In the center of it all lies 
Myth, a God risen from his slumber
To take the stars as only A God could
As only an Outsider could, as only Davy Jones could
As only...

And as the Hours wile away
And the Black Tie White Noise
Cause us Earthlings to scream 
Let's Dance as he would have wanted
As the Reality that The Next day
Will remain an Oddity, and the Space
Between the passing and our lives
Grow larger and once again Hunky Dory
Tonight
Let the Diamond Dogs howl
And the Pinups remain the same
Let the Buddha of Suburbia have his rest
From Station to Station to the Life he knows best
Never letting us down

All I can say now is
I'm a blackstar.
