a very beautiful song by David Bowie, from a very beautiful album. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics:
Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away
Once a time they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away
CHORUS
Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are
Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-oo
Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What's-a matter with you
C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-oo
CHORUS

Great song, Bowie was a big fan of Uncle Floyd (who can now be heard doing his italian -american radio show on Sunday mornings at 11am on 93.5 FM (new york) or wvipfm.com (streaming)). John Lennon turned Bowie on to Floyd's TV show back around '79. The opening melody of this tune is borrowed from the 13th bar of Ave Maria....

I've idolised Bowie since 1968, he continues to be my superhero and this magnificent track epitimises everything Bowie stands for, absolute class.
