Karma Man Lyrics - Bowie At The Beeb: The Best Of The Bbc Radio Sessions 68-72 - David Bowie

Figertips sun at sideshow stalls, they throw the balls 

At coconut furs that hide behind coloured shades that blind your eyes 

Every child's mother holds an ice cream cone, they circle round 

Perceived unknown by an eye that peers from a hole in a tent where no one goes 

A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor 

He's clogged and clothed in saffran robes, his beads are all he owns 

Slow down, slow down 

Someone must have said let's slow him down 

Slow down, slow down 

It's pictured on the arms of the karma man 

Fairy tale skin depicting scenes form human zoos 

Impermanent toys like peace and war, a gentle face youve seen before 

Karma man tattooed on your side, the wheel of life 

I see my times and who I've been, I only live now and I don't know why 

I struggle hard to take these pictures in, but 

All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin

Someone must have said let's slow him down

It's pictured on the arms of the karma man
