Lyrics to:
Width Of A Circle
From The Man Who Sold the World
By 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
