David Bowie
Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud (Live) [2023 Remaster]
[Verse 1]
Solemn-faced, the village settles down
Undetected by the stars
Hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep
And the last thing on his mind
Is the wild-eyed boy imprisoned
'Neath the covered wooden shaft
Folds the rope into its bag
Blows his pipe of smolders
Blankets smoke into the room
And the day will end for some
As the night begins for one

[Verse 2]
Staring through the message in his eyеs
Lies a solitary son
From a mountain called Freecloud
Wherе the eagle dare not fly
And the patience in his sigh
Gives no indication for the townsmen to decide
So the village dreadful yawns
Pronouncing gross diversion as the label for the dog
Oh, "It's the madness in his eyes"
As he breaks the night to cry

[Outro]
It's really me
Really you and really me
It's so hard for us to really be
Really you and really me
You'll lose me, though I'm always really free, yeah
