The Width Of A Circle Lyrics - Man Who Sold The World - 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" 

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

For I realized that God's a young man too 

Ho 

Oh I said "So long" and I waved "Bye-bye" 

And I smashed my soul and traded my mind 

Got laid by a young bordello 

Who 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) 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooh 

He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips 

Photos 

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 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
