LYRICS: In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle In the centre of it all in the centre of it all Your eyes On the day of execution on the day of execution Only women kneel and smile ah-ah ah-ah At the centre of it all at the centre of it all Your eyes your eyes In the villa of Ormen in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle at the centre of it all at the centre of it all Your eyes your eyes Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place and bravely cried I’m a blackstar I’m a blackstar How many times does an angel fall? How many people lie instead of talking tall? He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud-into-the-crowd I’m a blackstar I’m a blackstar I’m not a gangster I can’t answer why (I’m a blackstar) Just go with me (I’m not a filmstar) I’m-a take you home (I’m a blackstar) Take your passport and shoes (I’m not a popstar) And your sedatives, boo (I’m a blackstar) You’re a flash in the pan (I’m not a marvel star) I’m the great I am (I’m a blackstar) I’m a blackstar, way up, oh-honey-I’ve-got-game I see right so white, so open-heart it’s plain I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes I’m a blackstar I’m a blackstar Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried I’m a blackstar I’m a star star I’m a blackstar (I)can’t answer why (I’m not a gangster) But I can tell you how (I’m not a flam star) We were born upside-down (I’m a star star) Born the wrong way ‘round (I’m not a white star) I’m a blackstar I’m not a gangster I’m a blackstar I’m a blackstarI’m not a pornstar, I’m not a wandering star I’m a blackstar I’m a blackstar In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle At the centre of it all your eyes On the day of execution only women kneel and smile At the centre of it all your eyes your eyes Genre Alternative Comment by User 178870146 awesome 2022-06-10T03:47:09Z Comment by Darren Sullivan I love these lines 2017-11-19T04:03:36Z Comment by Darren Sullivan wow compelling cover 2017-11-19T04:00:53Z Comment by bE AnOthEr great cover ! 2017-11-19T00:07:11Z Comment by doc_faust Beyond wonderful.
