Eνα τραγούδι του David Bowie από το προτελευταίο του άλμπουμ The Next Day, με μια από τις πολλές μέσα στο έργο του αναφορές στον Yukio Mishima, ένα απ’ τους αγαπημένους του συγγραφείς.
A song by David Bowie from his penultimate album The Next Day, with one of many references in his work to Yukio Mishima, one of his favorite authors.

Then we saw Mishima’s dog
Trapped between the rocks
Blocking the waterfall
The songs of dust
The world would end
And night was always falling
The peacock in the snow
And I tell myself
I don’t know who I am
And I tell myself
I don’t know who I am
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
I can only love you
By hating him more
That’s not the truth
It’s too big a word
He believed
That love is theft
Love and whores
The theft of love
And I tell myself
I don’t know who I am
And I tell myself
I don’t know who I am
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
But I am a seer
I am a liar
I am a seer
But I am a liar
My father ran the prison
My father ran the prison
