You were one of kind
You shifted our mind
You were unfazed
By all the trails that you blazed
Your songs
Will live on
Forever echo
In our lives

No matter how far you followed your star
You said why not when the world said why
Do do do do do etc

You were Ziggy with the spiders
And the man who sold the world
Always true to you
Kept your freak flag unfurled
You were Aladdin Sane
And you were a Diamond Dog
Electric when you danced
Just as smooth when you walked

You were Major Tom
Rockin songs out in space
Each new persona
A different human face
You were the Thin White Duke
You could slay us with a glance
You were the Man Who Fell to Earth
And you gave us all / a chance

To be ourselves
To be ourselves
To be ourselves

We could be heroes
Just for a day
The serious moonlight,
Brightened our way
We turned
And faced the strange
Sang modern love
To the church on time

No matter how far you followed your star
You said why not when the world said why
Do do do do do etc

You were the Man Who Fell to Earth
And you gave us all / a chance

To be ourselves
To be ourselves
To be ourselves

No matter how far you followed your star
You why not when the world said why

No matter how far we’ll follow our star
And say why not when the world says why
Do do do do do etc
