Width Of A Circle — текст песни (David Bowie)

In the corner of the morning in the past

I would sit and blame the master first and last

All the roads were straight and narrow

And the prayers were small and yellow

And the rumour spread that I was aging fast

Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree.



And I looked and frowned and the monster was me



Well, I said hello and I said hello

And I asked Why not? and I replied I don`t know

So we asked a simple black bird, who was happy as can be



And he laughed insane and quipped KAHLIL GIBRAN

So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through

For I realized that God`s a young man too



So I said So long and I waved Bye-bye

And I smashed my soul and traded my mind



Got laid by a young bordello

I was vaguely half asleep

For which my reputation swept back home in drag



And the moral of this magic spell

Negotiates my hide

When God did take my logic for a ride

(Riding along)



He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips

And showed me the leather belt round his hips

My knees were shaking my cheeks aflame

He said You`ll never go down to the Gods again

(Turn around,go back!)



He struck the ground a cavern appeared

And I smelt the burning pit of fear

We crashed a thousand yards below

I said Do it again, do it again

(Turn around,go back!)



His nebulous body swayed above

His tongue swollen with devil`s love

The snake and I, a venom high

I said Do it again, do it again

(Turn around, go back!)



Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply



And I was seething, breathing deeply

Spitting sentry, horned and tailed



Waiting for you
