An Ode To David Bowie

You were a starman, waiting in the sky,

An oddity in your labyrinth,

We joined your martian band,

You never looked quite the same, but we never failed to recognize you,

We'll miss your lightning struck face, Mr. Stardust,

Your art odyssey shall live on, for time can't change you.

"This is Major Tom to Ground Control,

I'm stepping through the door,

And I'm floating in a almost peculiar way,

And the stars look very different today."

We're sad to know you're past one hundred thousand miles,

And feeling very still,

We're hoping your spaceship knows which way to go without you.

This is Ground Control to Major Tom, signing off,

Your circuit is dead, and there's nothing we can do,

Caught under pressure without you,

No one could be heroes, but it was your day.

Now we jettison past your white dwarfs, a stranded crew with hopes that your blackstar will lead us through this uncertain galaxy.
