[00:01.16] The Drowned Girl - David Bowie
[00:02.24]
[00:06.67] Once she had drowned
[00:09.47] And started her slow descent
[00:13.05]
[00:15.06] Down the streams to
[00:17.31] Where the great rivers broaden
[00:21.48]
[00:24.17] Oh the open sky chant most magnificent
[00:30.02]
[00:31.46] As if it was acting as her body's guardian
[00:37.95]
[00:40.09] Wreck and duck ****
[00:42.61] Slowly increased her weight
[00:45.77]
[00:47.37] By clasping her in their slimy grip
[00:53.68]
[00:55.83] Through her limbs
[00:57.75] The cold blooded fishes played
[01:01.23]
[01:01.84] Creatures and plant life kept on
[01:04.99] Thus obstructing her last trip
[01:09.10]
[01:11.01] And the sky that same evening
[01:14.47] Grew dark as smoke
[01:17.21]
[01:18.36] And it's stars through the night
[01:20.73] Kept the brightness still soaring
[01:24.96]
[01:25.51] But it quickly grew clear
[01:28.79] When dawn now broke
[01:32.34]
[01:32.97] To see that she got one further morning
[01:40.52]
[01:41.34] Once her pallid trunk
[01:44.45] Had rotted beyond repair
[01:48.82]
[01:49.63] It happened quite slowly that
[01:52.43] She gently slipped from God's thoughts
[01:55.62]
[01:57.19] First with her face then her hands
[02:00.49] Right at the last with her hair
[02:03.32]
[02:04.06] Leaving those corpse-choked
[02:06.80] Rivers just one more corpse
