[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
