David Bowie - Ballad Of The Adventurers Lyrics






Sickened by sun, with rainstorms lashing him rotten
A looted wreath crowning his tangled hair
Every moment of his youth apart from its dream was forgotten
Gone the roof overhead, but the sky was always there

Oh you, who are flung out, alike from heaven and from Hades
You murderers who've been so bitterly repaid
Why did you part from the mothers who nursed you as babies
It was peaceful and you slept and there you stayed

Still he explores and rakes the absinthe green oceans
Though his mother has given him up for lost
Grinning and cursing with a few odd tears of contrition
Always in search of that land where life seems best

Loafing through hells and flocked through paradises
Calm and grinning, with a vanishing face
At times he still dreams of a small field he recognizes
With a blue sky overhead and nothing else

    Sickened by sun, with rainstorms lashing him rotten
    A looted wreath crowning his tangled hair
    Every moment of his youth apart from its dream was forgotten
    Gone the roof overhead, but the sky was always there
    Oh you, who are flung out, alike from heaven and from Hades
    You murderers who've been so bitterly repaid
    Why did you part from the mothers who nursed you as babies
    It was peaceful and you slept and there you stayed
    Still he explores and rakes the absinthe green oceans
    Though his mother has given him up for lost
    Grinning and cursing with a few odd tears of contrition
    Always in search of that land where life seems best
    Loafing through hells and flocked through paradises
    Calm and grinning, with a vanishing face
    At times he still dreams of a small field he recognises
    With a blue sky overhead and nothing else
