karma man

Singer:bowie, david

fingertip sun at sideshow stalls

they throw the balls

at coconut fur that hides behind

coloured shades that blind your eyes

every child's mother holds an ice-cream cone

they circle round

perceived unknown by an eye that peers

from a hole in the tent where no one goes

a figure sitting cross-legged on the floor

he's clogged and clothed in saffron robes

his beads are all he owns

slow down

slow down

someone must have said let's slow him down"
