Blackstar

"Siempre hizo lo que quería hacer. Y lo quería hacer a su manera y lo quería hacer de la mejor manera. Su muerte no fue diferente a su vida – un trabajo de arte. Hizo Blackstar para nosotros, su regalo de despedida"

Tony Visconti

Something happened on the day he died

Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside

Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried

(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

 

How many times does an angel fall?

How many people lie instead of talking tall?

He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd

(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar)

 

I can’t answer why (I’m a blackstar)

Just go with me (I’m not a filmstar)

I’m-a take you home (I’m a blackstar)

Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar)

And your sedatives, boo (I’m a blackstar)

You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a marvel star)

I’m the great I am (I’m a blackstar)

 

I’m a blackstar, way up, on money, I’ve got game

I see right, so wide, so open-hearted pain

I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes

(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

 

Something happened on the day he died

Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside

Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried

(I’m a blackstar, I’m a star's star, I’m a blackstar)

 

I can’t answer why (I’m not a gangstar)

But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star)

We were born upside-down (I’m a star's star)

Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star)

(I’m a blackstar, I’m not a gangstar

I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar

I’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star

I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)
