[Verse 1]
Now that he has no sense of destination
Now he's running for the love of speed
When the child goes bad, it's no cause for celebration
Like Jimmy Dean, he don't talk back to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Failures as fathers
Mothers to chaos
No baby, no baby, no baby, no

[Chorus]
Hello humans, can you feel me thinking?
I assume you're seeing everything I'm thinking
Hello humans, nothing starts tomorrow
I'm the baby now

[Refrain]
Baby Universe
Baby Universe
Baby Universal

[Verse 2]
A speck of dust just settled in my eye
It doesn't matter, I've seen everything anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Failures as fathers
Mothers to chaos
No baby, no baby, no baby, no

[Chorus]
Hello humans, can you feel me thinking?
I assume you're seeing everything I'm thinking
Hello humans, nothing starts tomorrow
I'm the baby now

[Refrain]
Baby Universe
Baby Universe
Baby Universal
Baby Universe
Baby Universe
Baby Universal

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.
