This poem/song text is based on the song 'Starman' by David Bowie, see Youtube video below. After his passing I heard this song on the radio and sentences came bubbling up in my head. I finally finished it, and here it is for you all to enjoy :) <3
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Didn't know what
time it was
But the time had
come
Death leaned back
and took a sip of rum
The hound was
eyeing him with eager fangs, waiting for the sign
Then the dark man
did seem to fade
Coming back was a slow
voice on a wave of light
That weren't no DJ
it was God all clad in white
There's a
Starman-angel in the sky,
He likes to come
and see us
but he thinks he'll
blow our mind,
Mister Starman
waiting in the sky,
he wants to show
his new home,
so we know he still
survives
He told me:
Let the children
love me
Let the grown-ups
love me
Let all the people
boogie
He picked a place
where he could oversee his world
Show people love
just as he did in songs
Switch off the TV
so you could hear him sing 'Life on Mars?'
Look out your
window, you can see his light
Sparkling brightly
flying through the night
Don't tell the
haters, he is not gonna shine for them
There's a
Starman-angel in the sky,
He likes to come
and see us
but he thinks he'll
blow our mind,
Mister Starman
waiting in the sky,
he wants to show
his new home,
so we know he still
survives
He told me:
Let the children
love me
Let the grown-ups
love me
Let all the people
boogie
There's a
Starman-angel in the sky,
He likes to come
and see us
but he thinks he'll
blow our mind,
Mister Starman
waiting in the sky,
he wants to show
his new home,
'Cause he knows
it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children
love me
Let the grown-ups
love me
Let all the people
boogie
