Memory Of A Free Festival

David Bowie

The Children of the summer's end 
Gathered in the dampened grass 
We played Our songs and felt the London sky 
Resting on our hands 
It was God's land 
It was ragged and naive 
It was Heaven 

Touch, We touched the very soul 
Of holding each and every life 
We claimed the very source of joy ran through 
It didn't, but it seemed that way 
I kissed a lot of people that day 

Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon 
To paint that love 
upon a white balloon 
And fly it from 
the topest top of all the tops 
That man has pushed beyond his brain 
Satori must be something 
just the same 

We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size 
We talked with tall Venusians passing through 
And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head 
And away they soared 
Climbing through 
the ivory vibrant cloud 
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd 
And We walked back to the road, unchained 

"The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party 
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party 
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party 
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party 
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party."
