Well, last night I had a terrible dream, and when I woke up David Bowie was in my room, wearing a gold sequined cape-like outfit and a space helmet. He said I had abandoned rock and roll, and would be visited by three spirits:
Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke, and Major Tom.
In the morning, I wrote this song about the World.

V1
I’m not black
I’m not white
Oh I know that tonight
I’m just a deeper
A deeper shade of gray
I’m not wrong
I’m not right
I just can’t
See the light
And I wonder
How it got this way
CH
And I don’t know where I am
And I do not give a damn
Cause I’ve forgotten
Forgotten what to say
a deeper shade of gray
V2
I’m not in
I’m not out
I’m just wrapped up
In these doubts
And I want to, I want to escape
I’m not up
I’m not down
I just can’t
See the ground
And I wonder
Is it all too late
CH
And I don’t know where I am
And I do not give a damn
Cause I’ve forgotten
Forgotten how to pray
I’m just a deeper, a deeper shade of gray
BR
Hey hey, are these our final days
Is the song, where it all goes wrong
And then slowly fades away
CH
V3
I’m not black
I’m not white
Oh I know that tonight
I’m just a deeper
A deeper shade of gray
