Amlapura, lyric by David Bowie

from the songs album unknown

Hey hey is the tall sail
On a beam lit put your hand
Make way for to java
Watching for bogies
Hey hey it's a dreaming
I would burn you if you should die
Hey hey i would burn too
If you should lie upon that bamboo pyre

I dream of amlapura
Never saw in all my life a more shining jewel
I dream of amlapura
Of an ocean or dream of a princess in stone

Hey hey golden roses around
A rajah?s mouth
Hey hey all the dead children buried standing

A flying dutchman, smoking gun and spice wind

I dream of amlapura, never saw in
All my life a more shining jewel

I dream of amlapura, of an ocean
Or deram of a princess in stone

I dream of amlapura
Of the the princess in stone

Hey hey it's a talkshow

Hey hey

Hey hey

Amlapura
