Death of a Music Hero

This is a rewrite of a piece I wrote quite a few years ago.

Such wonderful lines from some brilliant music of his.

I decided to put it back up in remembrance of David Bowie

a great music icon who died on January 10^th 2016.

Ziggy played guitar,

Ziggy went so far

lost his way...couldn't

get back again.

Spiders from Mars

wanted him to stay,

he said: “Our love is strong,

but is too young.”

So he sang: “Let's get back to

Suffragette City.”

But they said: “Hey Man

don't you be so unkind,

just get back here.”

He said: “Don't lean on me man,

she's so fine, she has a white light,

that's gonna drive me outta my mind.

A white heat that's gonna burn my very soul,

that white light feels so right, here she comes,

here she comes.”

Time takes a cigarette,

puts it in your mouth

you're a rock n roll suicide,

the clock waits...you live too long,

you're a rock n roll suicide.

Don't let the sunlight cast a shadow.

“Oh no love you're not alone,

no matter how you feel

you're not alone,

give me your hand

cause you're wonderful.”

R.I.P. David.
