The Lyrics

This is Frank's song that way Bowie would have done it. I felt it would be a fitting way for him to go out, a fitting way to honor him.
*Stereo space-rock sound effects*

*David Bowie singing and strumming acoustic guitar*

And now, my ship is here
And so I face the final countdown
My friend, I'll say it clear
I‘m off to space -- where, I’m uncertain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Big hits, I've had a few
But then again, too much to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
The Spiders wait on Mars, Zig played guitar along the highway
For good, or just for kicks, I did it my way

I heard today, oh boy, the news
Fame can bite off more than one can chew
There‘s life on mars, I have no doubt
I played guitar and saxed it up
I was a hero for one day and did it my way

I've played with John and Queen
It‘s been a thrill, I must be cruising
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Who knows, who knows, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, is it just aught?
What is a man but just a blot?
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The records sold, and life was gold, I did it my way

[instrumental]

Yes, it was my way

I never did get into Bowie's music but it's always sad when a fellow human being passes especially under such circumstances (cancer and the like) rather than simply getting old R.I.P. David Bowie

I never got into his music either. No deaths aren't fun things

I think I'll probably always remember him for being Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth back in the day.
