David Bowie — The Superman ChangesNowBowie Version

[Verse 1] When all the world was very young Mountain magic heavy hung The supermen would walk in file Guardians of a loveless isle And gloomy browed with super fear Their tragic endless lives Would heave nor sigh Solemn serenity Wondrous beings chained to life [Chorus] Strange games they would play then No death for the perfect men Life rolls into one for them So softly, a super god cries [Verse 2] Where all were minds in uni-thought Power's weird by mystics taught No pain, no joy, no power too great Colossal strength to grasp a fate Sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers Nightmare dreams No mortal mind could hold Man would tear his brother's flesh A chance to die, to turn to mold [Chorus] Far out in the red-sky then Far out from the sad eyes then Strange, mad celebrations So softly, a super god cries! Far out in the red-sky Far out from the sad eyes then Strange, mad celebrations So softly, a super god cries
