Silly Boy Blue [BBC version] Songtext
von David Bowie

Mountains of Lhasa are feeling the rain
People are walking the Potala lanes
Preacher takes the school
One boy breaks a rule

Silly Boy Blue, blue
Silly Boy Blue

Yak butter statues that melt in the sun
Cannot dissolve all the work you′ve not done
A chela likes to feel
That his overself pays the bill

Silly Boy Blue, Blue
Silly Boy Blue


You wish and wish, and wish again
You've tried so hard to fly
You′ll never leave your body now
You've got to wait to die

La la la la la, la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la, la la la la
La la la, la la
La la la, la la
Silly Boy Blue, blue
Silly Boy Blue

Child of Tibet, you're a gift from the sun
Reincarnation of one better man
The homeward road is long
You′ve left your prayers and song

Silly Boy Blue, blue
Silly Boy Blue
Silly Boy Blue
Silly Boy Blue
