The Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Solemn faced

2 The village settles down

3 Undetected by the stars

4 And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to sleep

5 And the last thing on his mind

6 Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned

7 Neath the covered wooden shaft

8 Folds the rope

9 Into its bag

10 Blows his pipe of smolders

11 Blankets smoke into the room

12 And the day will end for some

13 As the night begins for one

14 Staring through the message in his eyes

15 Lies a solitary son

16 From the mountain called Freecloud

17 Where the eagle dare not fly

18 And the patience in his sigh

19 Gives no indication

20 For the townsmen to decide

21 So the village Dreadful yawns

22 Pronouncing gross diversion

23 As the label for the dog

24 Oh It's the madness in his eyes

25 As he breaks the night to cry

26 It's really Me

27 Really You

28 And really Me

29 It's so hard for us to really be

30 Really You

31 And really Me

32 You'll lose me though I'm always really free

33 And the mountain moved its eyes

34 To the world of realize

35 Where the snow had saved a place

36 For the Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud

37 And the village dreadful cried

38 As the rope began to rise

39 For the smile stayed on the face

40 Of the wild eyed boy from freecloud

41 And the women once proud

42 Clutched the heart of the crowd

43 As the boulders smashed down from the mountain's hand

44 And the Magic in the stare

45 Of the Wild Eyed Boy, said

46 Stop, Freecloud

47 They won't think to cut me down"

48 But the cottages fell

49 Like a playing card hell

50 And the tears on the face

51 Of the Wise Boy

52 Came trembling down

53 To the rumbling ground

54 And the missionary mystic of peace/love

55 Stumbled to cry among the clouds

56 Kicking back the pebbles

57 From the Freecloud mountain track
