This is a goodbye among many. Written days after the death of David Bowie, reflecting my own observation of the sorrow and shock felt within the creative community.
lyrics:
goodbye to
the thin white duke
how brave are we
without you?
never ask permission
just give birth to vision
goodbye to
the thin white duke
do we sparkle
without you?
you gave us permission
you gave us a reason
anointed in glitter,
how do we survive?
- synth break! -
tapped into
the universe
gave the blessing
and the curse
mirrors see us through
feeling brave and true
in drag and in face and
stark naked on that stage
goodbye to
the thin white duke
we're the children
without you
anointed in glitter,
how can we survive?
be a great bullshitter
to stay alive
