Bowie, David - Safe Lyrics






Frozen to the glass again
Out of our skins again
Cold I am, tonight I am
Tomorrow's really on my mind

Sure to think of, from now on
The things will move more slowly
But thin is thin and chances slim
And sometimes we all have those dreams

Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa...
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa...

In this skyline

The past it almost shimmers now
All we needed, all we wished for
But here I am and safe am I
Trusting in the lament sky

Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa...
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa...

In this skyline

Skyline
Skyline
Skyline

Are things getting better now?
Are things getting worse?
But I'm standing in the sunshine
And it lifts my heart and feeds my mind

Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa...
Safe in this skyline
Safe, whoa...

In this skyline

Skyline
Skyline
Skyline

Skyline
Skyline
Skyline

Bowie, David Safe Comments
  1. D.... ....

    This was made for rugrats movie...hmm. Can’t really imagine it with the babies. It makes you think the babies actually died and the “safe in the sky life” line is the babies and angelica in heaven. I can see why it was cut.

  2. J.... ....

    It appeared at the end credits of the movie

  3. M.... n....

    With the knowledge that this was going to be used for the rugrats movie, kind of makes me wonder what kind of scene this song would be set to.

  4. z.... ....

    Okay, seriously, Nickelodeon, fuck you for turning this down for The Rugrats Movie!

  5. V.... ....

    Feels weird knowing that Bowie wrote a song for Rugrats of all things, but given that I did catch an airing of the film on TV back in the early 2000's (I was born the year the film first came out), I'm sure this song would've blown my child self's mind away if it _was_ included in the movie as intended. I'm curious to know if the original 1998 recording of the song is out there somewhere; maybe Parlophone will include it in a later box set.

  6. H.... ....

    One of my faves if not my #1 fave from Bowie 🖤 Ily rip David Bowie miss you 🖤

  7. N.... C....

    love it

  8. D.... O....

    Been a Bowie fan since the late 70s. Only just discovered this . It’s brilliant

  9. R.... N....

    Bizarre yet typically epic Bowie chord progression... not heard it til now!?! Visconti's string arrangement is so perfectly subtle... Thank you!

  10. J.... 8....

    this should have made it to the album, too good for a B-Side/Bonus track

  11. L.... S....

    I just love this man's voice!!

  12. N.... B....

    Ive always loved this song. Mesmerizing.

  13. T.... N....

    Here are the lyrics to to song if anyone needs it. Your welcome. :)

    And sometimes we all have those dreams

    Safe in this skyline
    Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Safe in this skyline
    Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

    In this skyline

    The past it almost shimmers now
    All we needed, all we wished for
    But here I am and safe am I
    Trusting in the lament sky

    Safe, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
    Safe in this skyline

    Also, this song is pretty cool, btw. Crazy that it was supposed to be for The Rugrats Movie, (which I also love along with the show).

  14. R.... C....

    Great Song. Love it 😍😍😍😍

  15. P.... ....

    I dream of pea-pod-green seas into which I sink into dreamy misery
    as the praxeologically-gaunt son of your wacky-quack hysterectomy

  16. A.... L....

    OH come one, this would of worked great with The Rugrats Movie

  17. C.... B....

    Friendly reminder that this was written for The Rugrats Movie.

  18. t.... ....

    I thought it was called Skylife?

  19. T.... W....

    Woah ! We can feel Reeves Gabrels in this one magical song !

  20. N.... ....

    this is one of my most favourite songs ever

  21. L.... M....

    I simply love his vocals.

  22. s.... p....

    NICE SONG. I WILL UPLOAD IT IN A CAPELLA VERSION THAT I HAVE

  23. C.... B....

    Bowie sounds like Ozzy sometimes. Not just this song.

    C.... B....

    Good God no!

  24. s.... p....

    I have this track in a capella version. I will upload it soon in order to honor the memory of him

    s.... p....

    Pardísimo and we're still waiting after 1 year

    s.... p....

    so upload it then, please

    s.... p....

    Pardísimo hello friends.

    s.... p....

  26. d.... T....

  27. D.... B....

    You are now safe bowie, RIP.

  28. G.... D....

    one of my best faves forever

  29. j.... w....

    Such a unique and original voice! Also love Visconti's string arrangement !

  30. a.... ....

    With less vocal effects, this could pretty much be a Bond theme.

  31. e.... ....

    Great song!

  32. G.... D....

    SHOULDA BEEN ON HEATHENNNnnnnn <3

  33. O.... ....

    You know, IIRC, there was a Japanese release of the album that included this song as a bonus track.

  34. r.... ....

    I'd rather have this on Heathen than A Better Future any day of the week.

    r.... ....

    razarsenal180 ah come better future is a great song!

    r.... ....

    I want this and Wood Jackson instead of Cactus lol

    r.... ....

    I want wood jackson, safe, cactus and a better future!

  35. k.... h....

    ..Thank u ,Thank u!!!! Omg a new cut!!! Its been so long,so long so long.......cant put out the fire without him....miss him so!!

  36. S.... G....

    Thanks so much for sharing this. I'd always known of this and should have made the effort to track it down years ago.
    Love, love, love it!

  37. s.... ....

    i seek pole shift survival group

  38. C.... T....

    This is awesome.

  39. M.... ....

    has a megadeth risk album quality to it.

  40. M.... H....

    the melody of a part of it reminds me of the beginning of "The Supermen". Interesting piece.

    M.... H....

    Mica Hale I agree with the Superman link

  41. R.... ....

    @zoomgas Thomas Dolby did the FernGully soundtrack and used a line about "jock itch" (sung by Robin Williams), and Motorhead popped up on the Spongebob Squarepants Movie soundtrack with an original song for the film, so, stranger things have happened.

  42. b.... ....

    Wow... what a mix...... everything jumps out of the speakers....

  43. j.... ....

    Okay, is that a Stylophone in the intro (and throughout)?
    Great song. Not necessarily appropriate for "Rugrats," but then again, why not? Gotta give the nippers the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for sharing!

  44. L.... ....

    Fabuleschen darling. Like a quality shirt. Never gets old.

  45. R.... F....

    His voice is too creepyfor a children's movie, but they shoul''ve added it anyways.

  46. f.... ....

    @MistakenMantis i downloaded the song from amazon

  47. a.... ....

    @zoomgas There's a reason why it wasn't used I dare say. This is an amazing song, a huge theme, but really: Visconti and Bowie overshot their target when they put this together for a children's movie!!

  48. S.... Y....

    He looks like Gman in that pic

  49. S.... H....

    Has anybody news on if David is working on a new studio album?

  50. S.... H....

    Can anybody give me the lyrics of this
    extraordinary song?

    S.... H....

    Steffen Haust dude im from the future.it gets better then it gets a whole lot worse over and out Lubba dub dub muthafucka

  51. S.... ....

    This tune is the perfect showcase for The Gentleman's lovely voice and it's a crying sin it wasn't used in the movie. What a way to introduce little ones to the enchantment of Bowie's musical stylings

  52. n.... ....

    a question only Bowie himself can answer
    anyway I really would like to see him perform again

  53. D.... I....

    Je roule et m'enroule avec délice , tant de délice dans le velours de sa voix, elle est pour moi comme une caresse délicate, sensuelle.
