David Bowie - Heathen Lyrics






Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass
Oo-o
Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?
Oo-o
Oo-o
You say you'll leave me
And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die
Oo-o
Oo-o

  1. W.... M....

    I say ,let's celebrate his truly amazing talent,and his incredible style and complete artistic sense ability,one of a kind he left us such an amazing collection of great albums ,songs,styles to satisfy people for decades to come never forgotten

  2. n.... ....

    Bowie lives on in every piece of music he ever wrote and/or sang, he will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone who is ever touched by his music, I am grateful for his life's journey, and for his success, which meant I was able to hear his music

  3. D.... ....

    Two dud tunes, otherwise among Bowie’s four, five or six best albums. The drums!

  4. M.... ....

    Nothing remains........

  5. p.... b....

    from a very undervalued album.....

  6. E.... W....

    Scott Walker's influence is audible.

  7. R.... C....

    Still pure art.....Bowie is as great as ever....
    Nothing has changed
    Everything has changed

  8. P.... v....

    Bowie 4ever living

  9. N.... C....

    heathen is one of my all time favorite Bowie album

  10. I.... B....

    Nulla cambia, cambiando tutto. Vero paradosso.... ( 🧚‍♀️ ..................... volo libera ......

  11. C.... K....

    This song is tied for first in my book (and I read only good books) ... right up there with What In The World as far as blowing my mind.

  12. s.... p....

    Just one of numerous excellent songs from the Heathen album!

  13. P.... ....

    David Bowie died on a Sunday, by the way - 10 January 2016.

  14. s.... r....

    The Glitch <3

  15. j.... z....

    Nothing remains
    We could run
    When the rain slows
    Look for the cars or signs of life
    Where the heat goes
    Look for the drifters
    We should crawl under the bracken
    Look for the shafts of light on the road
    Where the heat goes
    Everything has changed
    For in truth, it's the beginning of nothing
    And nothing has changed
    Everything has changed
    For in truth, it's the beginning of an end
    And nothing has changed
    And everything has changed
    In your fear
    Of what we have become
    Take to the fire
    Now we must burn
    All that we are
    Rise together
    Through these clouds
    As on wings
    In your fear, seek only peace
    In you fear, seek only love
    In your fear, seek only peace
    In you fear, seek only love
    In your fear, in your fear
    As on wings
    This is the trip
    And this is the business we take
    This is our number
    All my trials, Lord
    Will be remembered
    Everything has changed

  16. C.... K....

    I've been a lifelong Bowie fan but for some reason I just never got around to this album until within the past few months and now I've listened to this song about a hundred times since then.

    C.... K....

    Mine is the same story...lifelong since age 11 Bowie fan and I have every other album of his but this one. I discovered this song while researching Annette Peacock and this came up...wow!! I’ve heard it once and it is already in my top ten of his (so difficult to put them into an order like that, there are SOOO many)

  17. C.... K....

    Only David Bowie can groove like that.

  18. A.... S....

    Someone put this on an overlapping loop already please.

  19. C.... K....

    Can you feel why he called it Sunday?

  20. S.... P....

    ich weiß ich weiß ich muß den Meister hören

  21. W.... T....

    We miss you, sir. Carry on.

  22. a.... a....

    I would've paid 1000 dollars for a Kanye - Bowie collaboration.

    a.... a....

    That's an interesting comment. I certainly liked the Kanye - McCartney (and Rhiannon) collaboration.

  23. D.... ....

    Is that looping, stuttered guitar sound in 12/4 time?

  24. T.... G....

    ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

  25. D.... M....

    Bill Cosby touched my heart accidentally as he was lunging for my
    vagina. Joke's on you Cosby, I had my vagina removed last year by
    a surgeon who hates you.

  26. W.... S....

    this was the lost era when people stopped listening..all will be revealed

  27. J.... e....

    Notning is change and evererything,change,change.....

  28. 2.... ....

    everything has changed... nothing has changed.. everything has changed..

  29. D.... B....

    I miss him ..

  30. n.... v....

    "Sunday"...The start of the week or the end of the week?

  31. L.... S....

    King allah

  32. A.... A....

    I simply love this song. I realize why some people don't like this song, its kinda boring and depressing, but it's still one of my favorite Bowie songs.

  33. I.... H....

    I'm sorry, this guitar part is easily my favorite of all time.

  34. J.... B....

    Jeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss UNIWERSUM jar9 Poland

  35. P.... ....

    I am Anton Latukha, I've made a simple but very fun pun on this song on Facebook.

    It turned out things about what I was talking in a pun are the same in the four probable ends (that I found) of that pun.

  36. g.... c....

    i could listen to this riff until i explode

    g.... c....

    My soul driven addiction knew my heart would overload. ^

  37. A.... S....

    Rise through clouds, as on wings.

  38. J.... a....

    Why does this mind-blowing end-section of this song, with the drums and the synth, not last at least ten minutes longer? That would be epic... it's just over too soon...

    J.... a....

    Like much in life, it's over too soon. But it's also over at just the right moment, when the song has said what there is to say

    J.... a....

    I'll work on an extension.

  39. G.... N....

    Always on the move....

  40. T.... ....

    Saw Mr. Bowie in concert twice...there’s always been Bowie....going to be such a lonely world without him. Goodbye Spaceboy. Love....

  41. S.... P....

    Fucking pathetic comments about his death... Bowie's music lives on.

  42. K.... ....

    It's near-criminal that the song just fades out shortly after the awesome drum fill.

  43. W.... ....

    When you're a Bowie fan, it does get a bit tiring because every other comment is about how he died... It's truly sad that all of the comments sections are so depressing..

    W.... ....

    I'm not a fan but this bothers me anyway. Just enjoy his wonderful music

    W.... ....

    Never tire of a genius as his music will always speak 4 itself the legend lives on and will never ever fade away or ever b repeated in our lifetime all i get from all his work is sheer pleasure happy memories (i had the privaledge of seeinh the great man live 7 times and had been there as a true fan since cing ziggy live i knew then the great man was and always will b very special and his legacy and talent in every field will never ever die as to me he has never really ever left us at all

    W.... ....

    @Alan Newbury Listening this song and read your comment made me in tears......you are really lucky man I wish I could see him live just one time ! any concert, any live , anything!!

    W.... ....

    he didn't die...he just moved on.

    W.... ....

    "everything has changed."
    the mourning is an aspect of what he left behind, just one more earth project. we are blessed by him in grief as well: )
    I like that theres a place to easily find other mourners- in online comments - even so long after the day he died.

  44. S.... P....

    This is a very very sad song. But is really beautiful!

  45. S.... P....

    This song is very sad,but it's wonderful.

  46. M.... ....

    17 years ago I said this is one of the best tracks I have ever heard. Rash? No.
    17 years on this is still in my all time top ten.
    What a powerhouse.

    This track is the bastard child of Ashes To Ashes.
    Very very underestimated song.

    xx

  47. G.... W....

    "In your fear, seek only peace
    In you fear, seek only love
    In your fear, in your fear
    As on wings
    This is the trip".....The man was a genius

  48. R.... B....

    I heard this on Caroline for the first time just this week, beautiful.
    Feels like it could have gone on longer.

  49. u.... ....

    In your fear, seek only peace
    In you fear, seek only love
    In your fear, in your fear
    As on wings

    Love you always DB.

  50. N.... W....

    'Everything must chaaaaangeeeeeee....." Love it....Always David

  51. G.... M....

    brilliant album

  52. S.... P....

    Why goddamnit. His worked suggested inmortality. It felt so.
    But then reality stroke, we realized he was a mortal. Like us.

  53. F.... ....

    Today...yes, this song will do just fine

  54. G.... M....

    brilliant

  55. L.... G....

    We love you David.

  56. m.... ....

    I can't believe how all his 2k's records went unnoticed right until Blackstar.

    m.... ....

    The Next Day was a success as well.

    m.... ....

    Not unnoticed at all, there was even a theory back then that Heathen was made based on the 9/11 incidents

    m.... ....

    I agree with you, Mantra. I didn't get into Heathen, Outside or Reality until recently (2018).

    m.... ....

    Actually Heathen had good sales and a good place in the charts (at least in the UK), the same goes for Reality and The Next Day,

    m.... ....

    I was listening to this in 2011... Would walk my dog with this in my mp3 player along with Depeche Mode - Sounds of The Universe.

  57. y.... ....

    "For in truth, its the beginning of nothing and nothing has changed, for in truth its the beginning of an end.." I get tears everytime at that part. Heartbreaking and so true of our times. RIP Bowie

  58. Y.... ....

    I voted this my 2016 album of the year... sure it came out in 2002 but it blows away any of this years stuff.... here's to rediscovery

  59. S.... ....

    Everything has changed.... For in truth, its the beginning of nothing and nothing has changed, everything has changed!

  60. S.... G....

    I AM A VIRGIN

  61. S.... R....

    Imho his greatest song. Despite so many other great masterpieces.

  62. R.... L....

    this is the trip and this the business
    ..

  63. Y.... ....

    Oh and by the way.. loved the quirky guitar part.. and build up.. by the time the drums come in you are ready to burst out of your damn chair and dance!!!

  64. Y.... ....

    When I listen to stuff like this I realize how utterly ahead of his time Bowie was and always remained.... screw convention.. make art. He was and will always be considered one of the driving forces in good thought provoking music. Thanks Dave.

  65. R.... L....

    has anything changed?

    R.... L....

    Random Light everything has changed..

    R.... L....

  73. y.... l....

    It was a late sunday night, and I was one of the first people to find out about his death out of my friends.
    Everything has changed.

    y.... l....

    And nothing in the world has changed... This is sad

  74. L.... C....

    Loved this guy for so long - My hero, so sadly missed, but he's left us so much - X

  75. M.... C....

    Bowie was like a second father to me. I'm still not capable of getting over his death. Why did you have to die, David Bowie?

    M.... C....

    Miloš Cvetković because he was mortal. Now he is immortal. All things must pass. Hoping you’re ok 👌

  76. J.... R....

    in the months after David Bowie's passing i'm often choosing this album to listen to. Recent and of high quality.

  77. c.... 7....

    and nothing has changed everything has changed

  78. s.... ....

    I saw Bowie 5 times. He did this at 2 Reality shows that I attended. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. I kid you not.

  79. M.... C....

    It is still too much ouch in my heart :'(

  80. K.... M....

    R.I.P. [*] <3 David Bowie...Absolutly....... <3

    the first Sunday without you 17\01\2016.... :'( ......... love yu my love RIP <3

  90. b.... ....

    Listen to the lyrics, it describes the awful feelings we have thinking of his death. Earth is going to be empty for me.

    b.... ....

    he's still in our hearts, our eyes, our ears, and on our tongues. He is forever here, there and anywhere.

    b.... ....

    Earth is filled with Bowie's echo in form of various songs inside various albums made in 50 years of musical voyages. His body's gone, but his soul lives within his music.

    b.... ....

    +TheChileReal Beautifully said and very true, .but miss him dearly.......

    b.... ....

    I still dream of him, sweet dreams always, giving rise to surge of creativity in the following days. Amazing mentor --and his passing was a catalyst for me. I miss him and carry on carrying him

  91. f.... b....

    Heathen is the real father of Blackstar

    f.... b....

    I hear it too

    f.... b....

    @stuart houselander a white star?

    f.... b....

    Yeah like most folk you opted to check out rhe front cover , it's the rear photo of David descending those stone steps or is he ascending backwards , time's cruel bitch.

    f.... b....

    @stuart houselander ?

  92. L.... U....

    Rip Bowie. A true musical genius!
