[Verse 1]
Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you
I should have tried
I should have been a wiser kind of guy
I miss you

[Verse 2]
Give me wings
Give me space
Give me money for a change of face
Those noisy rooms and passion pants
I love you

[Chorus 1]
Where's the morning in my life?
Where's the sense in staying right?
Who said 'time is on my said'?
I've gor ears and eyes and nothing in my life
But I'll survive your naked eyes
I'll survive

[Chorus 2]
You alone across the floor
You and me and nothing more
You're the great mistake I never made
I never lied to you,I hated when you lied
But I'll survive your naked eyes
I'll survive

[Verse 3]
Beatle boys,all snowy white
Razzle dazzle clubs,every night
Wish I'd sent a Valentine
I love You

[Outro]
I'll survive
Naked eyes
I'll survive
I'll survive
My naked eyes
I'll survive
I'll survive
Naked eyes
I'll survive
I'll survive
I'll Survive

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
