the supermen (live 1972) - david bowie lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when all the world was very young
mountain magic heavy hung
the supermen would walk in file
guardians of a loveless isle
and gloomy browed with super fear, their tragic endless lives
could heave nor sigh
in solemn, perverse serenities, wondrous beings chained to life

[chorus 1]
strange games they would play then
no death for the perfect men
life rolls into one for them
so softly a supergod cries

[verse 2]
where all were minds in uni-thought
power weird by mystics taught
no pain, no joy, no power too great
colossal strength to grasp a fate
where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers
nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
a man would tear his brother’s flesh, a chance to die
to turn to mold

[chorus 2]
far out in the red sky
far out from the sad eyes
strange, mad celebration
so softly a supergod cries
far out in the red-sky
far out from the sad eyes
strange, mad celebration
so softly a supergod dies

[audience applause]
