Changes

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste
was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware
of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get
a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

~ David Bowie

for some reason this verse resonated very much with me in high school...

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware
of what they're going through

(still does )

My mother made me a pair of black velvet dungarees with a butterfly on the front....

I remember the day and night like it was yesterday...and it was over 30 years ago.....

Sigh.....

David Bowie

His music is one of a kind and he had such captivating looks back then

Ever seen 'The Man Who Fell To Earth?' wonderful, abstract movie with David Bowie in it....'The Hunger' was great too- I can remember sipping cups of exquisite coffee with my friend as we watched it, back when I used to be a goth....

God Knows I'm Good

==================

I was walking through the counters of a national concern

And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder

And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean

As the merchandise exchanged and money roared

And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak

Into the paper bag at her side

And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed

So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind

Crying

"God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

God may look the other way today

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

God may look the other way today"

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag

Perspiration trickled down her forehead

And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder

She was led away bewildered and amazed

Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter

As her escort asked her softly for her name

And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady

Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor

Crying

"God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

Surely God won't look the other way

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

God knows I'm good

Surely God won't look the other way"


An Occasional Dream

===================

I recall how we lived

On the corner of a bed

And we'd speak of a Swedish room

Of hessian and wood

And we'd talk with our eyes

Of the sweetness in our lives

And tomorrows of rich surprise...

Some things we could do

In our madness

We burnt one hundred days

Time takes time to pass

And I still hold some ashes to me

An Occasional Dream

And we'd sleep, oh so close

But not really close our eyes

'Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue...

Gently weeping nights

It was long, long ago

And I can't touch your name

For the days of fater were strong for you...

Danced you far from me

In my madness

I see your face in mine

I keep a photograph

It burns my wall with time

Time

An Occasional Dream

Of mine

An Occasional Dream

Of mine

An Occasional Dream

Of mine

Much for Bowie here, too. Quite a Capricornian inspiration. He seems to ooze art.

"...And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-- Anaïs Nin
~~~~~

The following is one of my top fav Bowie songs. He sang it (at least a version of it) with Maynard James Keenan (singer of Tool). If you have not heard this song I HIGHLY recommend you find it and take a listen! Both of their voices are so hauntingly beautiful and filled with passionate soul

"Bring Me The Disco King"

You promised me the ending would be clear
You'd let me know when the time was now
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear

Memories that flutter like bats out of hell
Stab you from the city spires
Life wasn't worth the balance
Or the crumpled paper it was written on

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible

Hot cash days that you trailed around
Cold cold nights under chrome and glass
Led me down river of perfumed limbs
Sent me to the streets with the good time girls

Don't let me know we're invisible
Don't let me know we're invisible
We could dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire

Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Dead or alive, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king

Spin-offs with those who slept like corpses
Damp morning rays in the stiff bad clubs
Killing time in the '70s
Smelling of love through the moist winds
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Close me in the dark, let me disappear
Soon there'll be nothing left of me
Nothing left to release

Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Dance, dance, dance thru' the fire
Feed me no lies
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Breathe through the years
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Bring me the disco king
I don't know about you, I don't know about you
Dead or alive, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king
Bring me the disco king, bring me the disco king

P.S. He is awesome in one of my all-time favorite movies - Labyrinth

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
