David Bowie Lyrics

"Eight Line Poem"

The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws

They've opened shops down the Westside
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city is in the sun
That pins the branches to the sky
