David Bowie

[Verse 1]
"Are you OK?
You've been shot in the head
And I'm holding your brains,"
The old woman said

So I drink in the shadows of an evening sky
See nothing at all

[Chorus]
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you

[Verse 2]
The stars look so special
And the snow looks so old
The frail form is drifting
Beyond the yoga zone

Time to question the mountain: Why pigs can fly?
It's nothing at all

[Chorus]
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you

[Chorus]
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes away

[Outro]
I praise to you
Nothing ever goes, nothing ever goes
Nothing

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.
