Station To Station

David Bowie · Christiane F - O.S.T. [2001]

The return of the Thin White Duke

Throwing darts in lovers' eyes

Here are we, one magical moment, such is the stuff

From where dreams are woven

Bending sound, dredging the ocean, lost in my circle

Here am I, flashing no colour

Tall in this room overlooking the ocean



Here are we, one magical movement from Kether to Malkuth *

There are you, you drive like a demon from station to station

The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes

The return of the Thin White Duke, throwing darts in lovers' eyes

The return of the Thin White Duke, making sure white stains



Once there were mountains on mountains

And once there were sunbirds to soar with

And once I could never be down

Got to keep searching and searching

Oh, what will I be believing and who will connect me with love?

Wonder *who*, wonder who, wonder when

Have you sought fortune, evasive and shy?

Drink to the men who protect you and I

Drink, drink, drain your glass, raise your glass high



TWO TIMES:

It's not the side-effects of the cocaine

I'm thinking that it must be love

It's too late - to be grateful

It's too late - to be late again

It's too late - to be hateful

The european cannon is here



I must be only one in a million

I won't let the day pass without her

It's too late - to be grateful

It's too late - to be late again

It's too late - to be hateful

The european cannon is here



Should I believe that I've been stricken?

Does my face show some kind of glow?

It's too late - to be grateful

It's too late - to be late again

It's too late - to be hateful

The european cannon is here, yes it's here

It's too late



It's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late

The european cannon is here

Station To Station

David Bowie's "Station To Station" stands as a pivotal track from his 1976 album, "Low," though often associated with the 2001 compilation "Christiane F - O.S.T." The song exemplifies Bowie's transition into art rock and electronic experimentation, featuring his iconic falsetto and the distinctive "Jabba Wabbaboo" vocal hook. Produced with Brian Eno, the recording utilizes tape loops and synthesizers to create a haunting, atmospheric soundscape that defined the Berlin Trilogy era. This work marked a significant departure from his earlier glam rock style, exploring themes of isolation and urban alienation through its minimalist composition. It remains a cornerstone of Bowie's discography, influencing countless artists in post-punk and alternative music for its innovative production techniques and emotional depth.
