Bowie, David - Eight Line Poem Lyrics
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
They've opened shops down West side
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins
the branches to the sky

Bowie, David Eight Line Poem Comments
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
They've opened shops down West side
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins
the branches to the sky
It is eight lines because the last two should be counted as one.
Oh Clara, you do make me laugh.
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
They've opened shops down the West side
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins
The branches to the sky, oh, oh, oh
Monika Fan what was he on about then?
More beauty in eight lines than the entire Top 40
