David Bowie - Blackstar [Explicit](#ad)
Blackstar is David Bowie's only album that topped the U.S Billboard 200 Albums charts in his musical career that spanned more than 5 decades, unfortunately he was long gone to see his album reach the summit of U.S Billboard 200 Albums charts.
Blackstar is considered as one of the creepiest albums of all time because of it's dark lyrics with many songs dwelling in depth on death and after life.
"Lazarus" the lead single from Blackstar released less than 48 hours before Bowie's death is considered to be a 'parting gift' from Bowie to his fans.
The music video appeared even more creepier to his fans especially after his death with many refusing to watch it again.
In the "Lazarus" music video premiered on his YouTube channel on January 7th 2016,Bowie was lying tied to a death bed with his eyes all stitched up while singing about his impending death and after life.
Some critics suggest that the eye mask was Bowie's attempt to conceal his illness, which he never revealed to anyone apart from his close family members.
"Lazarus" was Bowie's first US Top 40 hit in almost 30 years with "Never Let Me Down” the title track from his 1987 album Never Let Me Down being his last single to reach US Top 40 on 26th of September 1987.
Title track "Blackstar" never made much of an impact on the charts but managed to reach the 60th spot in the UK Singles Chart and was outside the Top 75 in the U.S Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart.
But these stats mean nothing to a legend called David Bowie who has sold more than 140 million records in his lifetime with net assets worth over $230 million.
David Bowie – Blackstar [Explicit] - Lyrics
Release Date - 19th November 2015
Album - Blackstar
In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah ah, ah ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes
On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah ah, ah ah
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes
Your eyes
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the center of it all, at the center of it all
Your eyes
Your eyes
Ah ah ah
Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre then stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)
How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gangster)
I can't answer why (I'm a blackstar)
Just go with me (I'm not a filmstar)
I'm-a take you home (I'm a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I'm not a popstar)
And your sedatives, boo (I'm a blackstar)
You're a flash in the pan (I'm not a marvel star)
I'm the great I am (I'm a blackstar)
I'm a blackstar, way up, oh honey, I've got game
I see right so white, so open-heart it's pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)
Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre then stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a star star, I'm a blackstar)
I can't answer why (I'm not a gangster)
But I can tell you how (I'm not a flam star)
We were born upside-down (I'm a star star)
Born the wrong way 'round (I'm not a white star)
(I'm a blackstar
I'm not a gangster
I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar
I'm not a pornstar, I'm not a wandering star
I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)
In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle
Ah ah, ah ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah ah, ah ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes
Ah ah ah
