David Bowie is super occult. He used to go around with the Luciferian lightning bolt on his head (c.f. Harry Potter, Lady Gaga, etc.). He co-wrote and starred in "Labyrinth" where he's the "goblin king" who wants "the power of the babe". Yeah. How about that. To be fair, it seemed he had mixed feelings about the whole thing. "Labyrinth" is a warning for young people to stay out of Hollywood, or they'll become baby snatching goblins, too. I think Bowie's handlers killed Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bowie's guitarist, when he left Bowie's band.
"Couldn't Stand the Weather" lyrics have a dual meaning:
"Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy
Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm."
He knew they were going come for him.
