Lyrics:

Verse1:

Bowie hung the moon and the stars
and I'm so busy I don't have time to look
...was I reading a book?
oh
I was so free and high up there
but I didn't really care in the end
... but he was my only friend
Oh
don't make fun of the things I do
or the way that I choose
to do it
just let me get on with it

Chorus:
And the camera waivers in the mirror as you
try to catch a glimpse of the person you used to be
Oh you document it
everyday since
you believed that you were me
and you were me

Verse 2:

In the evening when the sky turns gray
and I turn a funny color pink and yellow
what a funny looking fellow
Oh,
Most of the time you understand how hard
it is to please a man
It's a man's world
no doubt about it

But when I look at you I feel something special
for yah
I guess I love yah!

Oh, but I was feeling so very small
so small that I thought that I was blind
.... does anyone have the time?

Chorus:
Oh,the camera waivers in the mirror as you
try to catch a glimpse of the person you used to be
Oh you document it
everyday since
you believed that you were me
and you were me

The skinny man he pranced around acting like a
complete crackhead clown
... but I still loved him

Bowie hung the moon and the stars
and I'm so busy I don't have the time to Look!
oh God
I was reading a book

I'd rub your lyrics on my face and I'd envied your words
and I'd try to grab every trace of your
Insanity!

Chorus:
Oh,the camera waivers in the mirror as you
try to catch a glimpse of the person you used to be
Oh you document it
everyday since
you believed that you were me
and you were me

Bowie hung the moon and the stars
and I'm so busy I don't have the time to Look!
was I reading a book?
