The Memory Of A Free Festival Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Maybe I should announce it, should i

2 Memory of a free festival

3 The children of the summer's end

4 Gathered in the dampened grass

5 We played our songs and felt the london sky

6 Resting on our hands

7 It was god's land

8 It was ragged and naive

9 It was heaven

10 Touch, we touched the very soul

11 Of holding each and every life

12 We claimed the very source of joy ran through

13 It didn't, but it seemed that way

14 I kissed a lot of people that day

15 Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon

16 To paint that love upon a white balloon

17 And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops

18 That man has pushed beyond his brain

19 Satoria must be something just the same

20 We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size

21 We talked with tall venusians passing through

22 And peter tried to climb aboard but the captain shook his head

23 And away they soared

24 Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud

25 Someone passed some bliss among the crowd

26 And we walked back to the road, unchained

27 The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ha ha ha

28 (repeat 25 times)

29 The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, yeah yeah

30 The sun machine is coming down, woh ho ho

31 Sun machine is coming down, oh oh oh ah

32 Sun machine is coming down, oh
