Methinks Mr. Bowie is singing about love in times of nuclear war. The images -- Till the sun blisters and sprays, and every lamb ceases to graze.

The Gentleman is saying to the lady in his life that he will love her until a nuclear disaster wipes out all life -- including the lives of him and his sweetheart
