Artist: David Bowie Album: Bowie At The Beeb: The Best Of The Bbc Radio Sessions 68 - 72 (2004) Title: Karma Man
Lyrics Karma ManFigertips sun at sideshow stalls, they throw the balls At coconut furs that hide behind coloured shades that blind your eyes Every child's mother holds an ice cream cone, they circle round Perceived unknown by an eye that peers from a hole in a tent where no one goes A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor He's clogged and clothed in saffran robes, his beads are all he owns
Slow down, slow down Someone must have said let's slow him down Slow down, slow down It's pictured on the arms of the karma man
Fairy tale skin depicting scenes form human zoos Impermanent toys like peace and war, a gentle face youve seen before Karma man tattooed on your side, the wheel of life I see my times and who I've been, I only live now and I don't know why I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin
Slow down, slow down Someone must have said let's slow him down Slow down, slow down It's pictured on the arms of the karma man |
