THE SUPERMEN- David Bowie

*   *
       *
When all the world was very young
      *
And mountain magic heavy hung
      *
The supermen would walk in file 
 *
Guardians of a loveless isle
And gloomy browed with superfear their tragic endless lives
Could heave nor sigh

In solemn, perverse serenity 
                             *    *
Wonderous beings chained to life

Strange games they would play then, no death for the perfect men
Life rolls into one for them, so softly a supergod cries

Where all were minds in uni-thought
Power wierd by mystics taught
No pain, no joy, no power too great
Colossal stength to grasp a fate
Where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
Man would tear his brother's flesh
A chance to die, to turn to mold

Far out in the red sky, far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration, so softly a supergod cries

Far out in the red sky, far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration, so softly, a supergod dies

NOTE: From The Man Who Sold the World, 1971, but I figured this out from 
the more acoustic bonus track version on (I think) Hunky Dory.
This is just my best guess- any improvements are welcome.
