The Superman ChangesNowBowie Version by David Bowie Lyrics

[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
