The Memory Of A Free Festival Lyrics by David Bowie

The Memory Of A Free Festival Lyrics

    Maybe i should announce it, should i
    Memory of a free festival

    The children of the summer's end
    Gathered in the dampened grass
    We played our songs and felt the london sky
    Resting on our hands
    It was god's land
    It was ragged and naive
    It was heaven

    Touch, we touched the very soul
    Of holding each and every life
    We claimed the very source of joy ran through
    It didn't, but it seemed that way
    I kissed a lot of people that day

    Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
    To paint that love upon a white balloon
    And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops
    That man has pushed beyond his brain
    Satoria must be something just the same

    We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size
    We talked with tall venusians passing through
    And peter tried to climb aboard but the captain shook his head
    And away they soared
    Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
    Someone passed some bliss among the crowd
    And we walked back to the road, unchained

    The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ha ha ha
    (repeat 25 times)
    The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, yeah yeah
    The sun machine is coming down, woh ho ho
    Sun machine is coming down, oh oh oh ah
    Sun machine is coming down, oh
