Anointed In Glitter

from Extra Chaos by Eddie Rifkind

/

about

This is a goodbye among many. Written days after the death of David Bowie, reflecting my own observation of the sorrow and shock felt within my creative community.

lyrics

goodbye to
the thin white duke

how brave are we
without you?

never ask permission
just give birth to vision

goodbye to
the thin white duke

do we sparkle
without you?

you gave us permission
you gave us a reason

anointed in glitter,
how do we survive?

- synth break! -

tapped into
the universe

gave the blessing
and the curse

mirrors see us through
feeling brave and true
in drag and in face and
stark naked on that stage

goodbye to
the thin white duke

we're the children
without you

anointed in glitter,
how can we survive?

be a great bullshitter
to stay alive
