 The song features a quick introduction on percussion and vibraphone, using a caravan-like drum sound to continue throughout the piece.Bowie's melodic portion of the composition is layered over the synthetic soundscapes of Brian Eno, whose synthesizer effects are reminiscent to those of the 
"No Pussyfooting" album from 1973.The song is intentionally repetitive; half the song does not stray from an E major chord while a two note melody repeats over the sound of continuous effects.
