Lyrics

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all Your eyes On the day of execution, on the day of execution Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all Your eyes, your eyes Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all Your eyes, your eyes Ah-ah-ah Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar) How many times does an angel fall? How many people lie instead of talking tall? He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar) (I'm not a gangstar) I can't answer why (I'm a blackstar) Just go with me (I'm not a filmstar) I'ma take you home (I'm a blackstar) Take your passport and shoes (I'm not a popstar) And your sedatives, boo (I'm a blackstar) You're a flash in the pan (I'm not a Marvel star) I'm the Great I Am (I'm a blackstar) I'm a blackstar, way up, on money, I've got game I see right, so wide, so open-hearted pain I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar) Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre then stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried (I'm a blackstar, I'm a star's star, I'm a blackstar) I can't answer why (I'm not a gangstar) But I can tell you how (I'm not a flam star) We were born upside-down (I'm a star's star) Born the wrong way 'round (I'm not a white star) I'm a blackstar (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I'm not a gangstar, I'm a blackstar I'm a blackstar (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I'm not a pornstar, I'm not a wandering star (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar In the villa of Ormen stands a solitary candle Ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, your eyes On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile Ah-ah, ah-ah At the centre of it all, your eyes, your eyes Ah-ah-ah
