Lyrics

Most of the lyrics of the entire movie were sung by David Bowie, or at least as the lead singer. Of the most unique and inspiring tunes from the movie, I have listed each of them here for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy, and by the way, Within You is my favorite David Bowie song.

"Within You"

How you've turned my world youuu precious thing.
You starve and near exhaust me...
Everything I've done I've done for you,
I move the stars for no one.
You've run so long,
You've run so far...
Your eyes can beee... so cruel,
Just as I can be so cruel.
Though I still believe in you.
Yesss, I do.
Live without the sunlight,
Not without your heartbeat.
I...I can't live within you...

"As the World Falls Down"

There's such a sad love deep in your eyes,
A kind of pale jewel, open and closed within your eyes,
I'll place the sky within your eyes.
There's such a fooled heart beating so fast,
In search of new dreams, a love that will last within your heart,
I'll place the moon within your heart.
As the pain sweeps through it makes no sense for you.
All the thrill has gonst... wasn't much fun at all.
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo,
As the world falls down...
Fallen down...Falling in love.
I'll paint you mornings of gold,
I'll spin you valentine evenings,
Though we were strangers til now,
We're choosing the path between the stars.
I'll leave my love between the stars...
As the pain sweeps through it makes no sense for you.
All the thrill has gonst; wasn't too much fun at all.
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down.

Magic Dance

You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voo-doo. Voo-doo? You do. Do what?

You remind me of the babe
I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry...
What could I do?...
My baby's love had gone and left my baby blue, no-body knew.
What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails? Puppy dogs tail's? Thunder or lightning?
Then baby said...
Dance magic dance, dance magic danceee... Put that baby's spell on me.
Jump magic jump, jump magic jump.
Put that magic jump on me, slap that baby, make him free.
I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try.
What could I do?
My baby's fun had gone and left my baby blue, nobody knew....

Opening Title

It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection little girl...
No love injection
Life can be easy...
It's not always swell...
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl...
'Cause it hurts like hell *echo hurts like hell*...
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah ,ah!!...
It's only forever...!!...
It's not long at all.......
Lost and lonely...
That's underground!...
Underground...!!!!!!
