Heat

David Bowie · The Next Day [2013]

Then we saw mission is dark

Trapped between the rocks

Blocking the waterfall

The songs of dust

The world would end

And night was always falling

The peacock in the snow



And I tell myself, I don't know who I am

And I tell myself, I don't know who I am



My father ran the prison (and the prison, in the prison?)

My father ran the prison



I can only love you by hating him more

That's not the truth, it's too big a word



He believed that love is theft

Love and war, the theft of love



And I tell myself, I don't know who I am

And I tell myself, I don't know who I am



My father ran the prison

My father ran the prison



But I am a seer, I am a liar

I am a seer, but I am a liar



My father ran the prison

My father ran the prison
