Ragazzo So Low

A Starman came travelling
Stayed for a while
Gave us his stories
Gave us his smile
I still hang on his words
As he shines in the universe
Will the Saviour Machines
Keep him safe in his oddity?

All the young dudes are old
But they still sing your songs
Ragazzo Solo

So Ashes to Ashes
I'm Low but not down
The Width Of A Circle
The tears of a clown
There's a Black Star in view
All The Madmen are missing you
And they dance in the street
Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

Now the young dudes are old
But they still sing your songs
Ragazzo Solo

I pull on a finger
And then cigarette
I'm listening for life signs
For spiders and suffragettes
Diamond Dogs on patrol
As they chase Lady Grinning Soul
And the Jean Genie's here
Recollecting her Golden Years

Now the young dudes are old
And they still sing your songs
Ragazzo Solo

Well nothing much Changes
We're frozen in Time
We're walking through Quicksand
We're Rock 'n' Roll Suicides
Lay the real thing on me
You Cracked Actor's and Pretty Things
It Ain't Easy you see
We've got Five Years for dying in

Now the young dudes are old
And they still sing your songs
Ragazzo Solo

We go Up The Hill Backwards
But this is no game
We're looking for Heroes
We're shooting for Fame
So the Kooks take a bow
They're all up and romancing now
Starman waits in the night
If I sparkle he'll land tonight

Now this young dude is old
And I still sing your songs
Ragazzo Solo
