Thomas Jerome Newton - "Prospekt's March"

I decided to make a video about The Man Who Fell to Earth with the amazing David Bowie as the character of Thomas Jerome Newton. It's such a sad story so I knew I had to pick a melancholy song with the sound of regret to it. I think "Prospekt's March" by Coldplay fits pretty well into this context. I hope you do too. I don't know how many fans of The Man Who Fell to Earth there are out there... I didn't get any responses for my Labyrinth video so maybe there aren't many Bowie fans out there. He has been kind of hiding out for the last five years after all... (Check out the posted lyrics.)

LYRICS

Smoke is rising from the houses
People burying their dead
I ask somebody what the time is
But time doesn't matter to them yet

People talking without speaking
Trying to take what they can get
I ask you if you remember
Prospekt, how could I forget?

Drums
Here it comes
Don't you wish that life could be as simple
As fish swimming round in a barrel when you've got the gun?

Oh, and I run
Here it comes
We're just two little figures in a soup bowl trying to get the other kind of control

But I wasn't one

But here I lie
On my own in a separate sky
And here I lie
On my own in a separate sky
I don't wanna die
On my own here tonight
But here I lie
On my own in a separate sky
