Analysis of the ghost of David Bowie



Witchers! His spirit is binding.
Oh, how many cradles od dreaming have thou art been binding?
Ten? Twenty? (annoitioned gasp) One-hundred, thirty thousand!
The spirit of Alexander marks your grave. You keep a Bag-Hound named Frodo Baggins waiting. Are you THAT deliriousness, deliourious?
