The Prettiest Star (Mono) [2015 Remaster] - David Bowie

The prettiest thing I ever did see Was lightning from the top of a cloud Moving through the dark a million miles an hour With somewhere to be So why does it seem like a picture Hanging up on someone else's wall? Lately I just haven't been myself at all It's heavy on my mind And I'm dreamin' again Like I've always been Way down low I still know That the prettiest thing I ever did see Was dusty as the handle on the door Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor Looks like home to me Now I'm dreamin' again Like I've always been Way down low Thinkin' of the prettiest thing

Stopped in the ol' Tin Angel for a cold one You didn't even know that I was there Too little too late is such an old one I'd be lying if I said I didn't care But I'm sitting here tonight, looking at my life Wishing I'd held you tighter when I had the chance Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is you always were The prettiest girl at the dance I don't know how long I expected I could keep you waltzing through my door I sat out when I should have stepped in Let you drift away across the floor But I'm sitting here tonight, looking at my life Wishing I'd held you tighter when I had the chance Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is you always were The prettiest girl at the dance Prettiest girl at the dance You stayed with me step by step But I missed my chance With the prettiest girl at the dance I tore down the good things that made us right Now I'm the one that's living with regrets Yeah, it was me who turned out all the lights You took the music when you left But I'm sitting here tonight, looking at my life Wishing I'd held you tighter when I had the chance Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is you always were The prettiest girl at the dance Guess I got what I deserved, the truth is I went and hurt The prettiest girl at the dance Ah, la la la la la la la la, dance Ah, la la la la la la la la

This week dragged past me so slowly The days fell on their knees Maybe I'll take something to help me Hope someone takes after me I guess there's always some change in the weather This time I know we could get it together If I did casually mention tonight That would be crazy tonight Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight Life is so vague when it brings someone new This time tomorrow I'll know what to do I know it's happened to you Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too Stay - that's what I meant to say Or do something, but what I never say is Stay this time, I really meant to so bad this time 'Cause you can never really tell When somebody wants something you want too
