[Verse 2] It’s on America’s tortured brow That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow Now the workers have struck for fame ’Cause Lennon’s on sale again See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads Rule Britannia is out of bounds To my mother, my dog, and clowns [Pre-Chorus] But the film is a saddening bore Because I wrote it ten times or more It’s about to be writ again As I ask you to focus on [Chorus] Sailors fighting in the dance hall Oh, man, look at those cavemen go It’s the freakiest show Take a look at the lawman Beating up the wrong guy Oh, man, wonder if he’ll ever know He’s in the best selling show Is there life on Mars? David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, “Heroes,” Let’s Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events. #DavidBowie #LifeOnMars? #DavidBowieLive
