Text Písně: The Width Of A Circle Bowie - 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
