David Bowie Quotes

We passed upon the stair,
We spoke of was and when.
Although I wasn't there,
He said I was his friend,
Which came as some surprise.
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me,
I never lost control.
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world.

I laughed and shook his hand,
And made my way back home.
I searched for form and land,
For years and years I roamed.
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here.
We must have died alone,
A long, long time ago.

Who knows? Not me.
We never lost control.
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? Not me.
We never lost control.
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Because you're young You'll meet a stranger some night
Because you're young
What could be nicer for you
And it makes me sad
So I'll dance my life away
A million dreams, a million scars
...Left him nearly out of his mind
They're people I know - people I love
They seem so unhappy - dead or alive

I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, whoa whoa

Wanna come down right now

Don't let me hear you say life takes you nowhere, angel.
