Born in a UFO

David Bowie har omsider indpsillet sit selvfølgelige svar på Bruce Springsteens "Born in the USA":
Han eller faktisk Hun er "Born in a UFO" - det er en sang på den EXTRA-cd tilføjet The Next Day, og her er teksten, ret loose og pænt hermetisk (i omkvædet synger han helt bevidst i munden på Bruce):

BORN IN A UFO
BORN IN A UFO

I come to the gate and watch the saucer land
She glided through the mist in the daylight scurf
Boost your shoes like boots in the dirt
The clutch back reflected the sun and steel
Look at this movie, so many spilled
There's no director, oh, she bleeds
Calling me against the trees
I was born right cold, all life could start to us

Mud like the earth was born under a stone
We were born with a single voice
She was born in a UFO
BORN IN A UFO

Laughing around at the end of town
With the hedge and the hands in the cool twilight air
I can see my rise like a pitching song
I'd rather be dead than fool around here anymore
She was all crashed, geometric face
He left its skin plastic and lace
Silver topping on her face
I was so in love with her, laughing at best

Mud like the earth was born under a stone
We were born with a single voice
She was born in a UFO
BORN IN A UFO
Like out of space

Mud like the earth was born under a stone
We were born with a single voice
She was born in a UFO
BORN IN A UFO

BORN IN A UFO
She was born in a UFO
BORN IN A UFO
She was born in a UFO
