[Intro: David Bowie]
If I fall, moondust will cover me, moondust will cover me...
If I fall, moondust will cover me
If I fall, moondust will cover me

[Verse 1: David Bowie]
Spaceboy, you're sleepy now
Your silhouette is so stationary
You're released, but your custody calls
And I wanna be free
Don't you wanna be free?
Do you like girls or boys?
It's confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you

[Chorus: David Bowie & Neil Tennant]
So bye-bye love
Yeah, bye-bye love
Hallo spaceboy
This chaos is killing me
Hallo spaceboy
Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy, hallo
Moondust will cover me

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant with David Bowie]
Ground to Major, bye bye Tom
This chaos is killing me
Dead the circuit, countdown's wrong
This chaos is killing me
Planet Earth, is control on?
So sleepy now
Do you wanna be free?
Don't you wanna be free?
Do you like girls or boys?
It's confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you

[Chorus: David Bowie & Neil Tennant]
So bye-bye love
Yeah, bye-bye love
Hallo spaceboy
Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy, hallo
Hallo spaceboy
You're sleepy now
This chaos is killing me
This chaos is killing me
So bye-bye love
Yeah, bye-bye love

[Verse 3: David Bowie & Neil Tennant]
Do you wanna be free?
Yes, I wanna be free
Hallo spaceboy
You're sleepy now
Do you like girls or boys?
It's confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you

[Chorus: David Bowie & Neil Tennant]
So bye-bye love
Yeah, bye-bye love
Hallo spaceboy
Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy, hallo
Hallo spaceboy
You're sleepy now
Hallo spaceboy
Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy, hallo
Hallo, hallo
If I fall, moondust will cover me

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.
