The Drowned Girl - David Bowie
Once she had drowned
And started her slow descent
Down the streams to
Where the great rivers broaden
Oh the open sky chant most magnificent
As if it was acting as her body's guardian
Wreck and duck weed
Slowly increased her weight
By clasping her in their slimy grip
Through her limbs
The cold blooded fishes played
Creatures and plant life kept on
Thus obstructing her last trip
And the sky that same evening
Grew dark as smoke
And it's stars through the night
Kept the brightness still soaring
But it quickly grew clear
When dawn now broke
To see that she got one further morning
Once her pallid trunk
Had rotted beyond repair
It happened quite slowly that
She gently slipped from God's thoughts
First with her face then her hands
Right at the last with her hair
Leaving those corpse-choked
Rivers just one more corpse
