The Supermen (ChangesNowBowie Version)

When all the world was very young

And 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

Could heave nor sigh

In solemn perverse serenity

Wondrous beings chained to life

Strange games they would play then

No death for the perfect men

Life rolls into one for them

So softly a superGod cries

All Where were minds in uni-thought

Powers weird by mystics taught

No pain no joy

No power too great

Colossal strength to grasp a fate

Where sad-eyed merment tossed in slumbers

Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold

A man would tear his brother's flesh

A chance to die

To turn to mold

Far out in the red sky

Far out from the sad eyes

Strange mad celebration

So softly a supergod cries

Far out in the red sky

Far out from the sad eyes

Strange mad celebration

So softly a supergod dies
