The day that Bowie died
Woke crying at your side
There was no call from the action man
though he had a plan
Took strangeness in his stride
The day the Wall came down
We were dying in our room
There was no call from a higher ground,
just a changing sound
That echoed with the bloom
All the roads are clear now...
No message came in from Major Tom
But a black star on the horizon
taught us everything we needed to know
Told us everything we needed to know
Everything. We needed to grow
Needed to know
Oh, we needed to know
The day that Bowie died
Woke crying at your side
If dust is all we'll ever be,
Then let that be, an end to it
You've torn it and your pride
Was there ever really a Major Tom?
A black star, with the pressure on
Showed us everything we needed to know
Taught us everything we needed to grow
Everything. We needed to show
That we did know
The day that Bowie died
Knew everything was alright
