DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Silly Boy Blue

"Silly Boy Blue"



Montains of Lhasa are feeling the rain

People are walking the Botella lanes

Preacher takes the school

One boy breaks a rule

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue



Yak butter statues that melt in sun

Cannot dissolve all the work you've not down

A chela likes to feel

That his overself pays the bill

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue



You wish and wish, and wish again

You've tried so hard to fly

You'll never leave your body now

You've got to wait to die

La la la la la la la la la la [x2]

La la la la la [x2]

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue

Child of the Tibet, you're a gift from the sun

Reincarnation of one better man

The homeward road is long

You've left your prayers and song

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue

Silly boy blue, silly boy blue
