Died Spirit (original words from David Bowie's Dark Star)
Died Spirit
I'm why you're the execution.
Died Spirit at the centre.
I'm open-hearted.
But I'm not a smile.
At times I'm of daydreams.
On the day of talking,
I was upside-down and at the centre.
I kneel and take a solitary star.
An execution star.
A passport to a diamond place.
I'm bravely solitary. But I'm all yours when I flash.
I'm an angel of want, an angel of all.
A sacred else star.
I kneel at your side.
I died and rose a blackstar.

This is my first cut-up composition, written shortly after the death of David Bowie.
