"Look up here, I’m in heaven": Lyrics to Bowie's last single show mortality was on star's mind
“Look up here, man, I’m in danger. I’ve got nothing left to lose.”
DAVID BOWIE FANS have been sharing the lyrics of the late star’s last single this morning.
The words of Lazarus, which appears on his critically-acclaimed Blackstar album, show mortality was on the singer’s mind as he completed his final work.
The album was released just last week to hugely positive reviews.
Look up here, I’m in heaven
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now
Look up here, man, I’m in danger
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I’m so high it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below
Ain’t that just like me
By the time I got to New York
I was living like a king
Then I used up all my money
I was looking for your ass
This way or no way
You know, I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Now ain’t that just like me
Oh I’ll be free
Just like that bluebird
Oh I’ll be free
Ain’t that just like me
