The Thin White Duke An Ode To David Bowie

And you think you are fine Till they say they want more And you know you’re not quite right You want to be sure Who would have thought Your world would end As you unwind the string You don’t want to pretend I can’t be who you want me to be My feet are bound to the floor You leave me twisting in the wind As you unlock the door I think I know I know you know You think you Know me so well They think they know me so well Received an invitation to a place you know you can not go The thin white Duke got lost in here The ashes melt as you break the ice Sanitys’ always got a price Careful how you balance the costs Just want to be known for you I think I know I know you know You think you Know me so well They think they Know me so well

Oh I like this, I could even hear him singing this. Yes, sanity has its price, cheaper in the long run than crazy though, in my experience anyhoo ;),
