[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
You've arrived in the land of a thousand different names
And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames
Now tomorrow is back claiming redemption is on your heels
And a toothless past is asking you how it feels
And me, my little red Corvette has driven by
Fair weather heart is falling in
My rainy day girl is feeling down
And she tells me that the world is spinning 'round

[Chorus]
I say the dream was all for you
You're nobody else
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
Yeah

[Bridge]
Yeah
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Hi, can I walk you home again today
Got to get forgive and forget hey, hey
Something good is happening and I don't know what it is
Don't you know we're back on trial again today
And it's breaking wine for you
Hell it's only because you're true
Someone out-timed my heart
Stopping and preaching and letting love in

[Chorus]
You are my moon, you are my sun
Heaven knows what you are
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you, yes they were
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you, ooh
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you

[Outro]
It doesn't matter what you try to do
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter what you try to do
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter where you try to go
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter who we really are
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Really doesn't matter, not you
Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
Doesn't matter

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.
