Blackstar ★
In the villa of Ormen [x2],
stands a solitary candle.
(ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh)
In the center of it all [x2],
your eyes.
On the day of execution [x2],
only women kneel and smile.
(ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh)
At the center of it all [x2],
your eyes. [x2]
(ahh, ahh, ahh)
In the villa of Ormen [x2],
stands a solitary candle.
(ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh)
At the center of it all [x2],
your eyes [x2].
(ahh, ahh, ahh)
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 gangster.)
"I can't answer why (I'm a blackstar)."
Just go with me, (I'm not a film star).
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.)

(I'm a blackstar, I'm a star's star, I'm a blackstar.)
I can't answer why (I'm not a gangster),
but I can tell you how (I'm not a film 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 gangster,
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.)
