Wow!... nice information, and decomposition(?) of the song by @harvey1021.
I'll re-read that later, and overall I think you are right.
Now, I will explain the meaning of the song part by part, at least what I think of....
"You know who I am," he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
Closed his eyes and moved his lips
"It's time we should be going"
A DEMON APPEARS TO HIM, TO CLAIM HIS SOUL.
HE HAD MADE A PACT WITH THE DEVIL LONG AGO AND IT WAS TIME.
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (THIS IS THE DEVIL WAITING FOR BOWIE'S SOUL)
CHANTS THE DEMON, HE HAS WAITED ALL "BOWIE"'S LIFE TO CLAIM HIS SOUL.
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
BOWIE REGRETS SELLING HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL, BUT IT HAS GIVEN HIM FAME AND FORTUNE, DRIVING BY THE NIGHT UNTIL HE DIES, UNTIL IT'S TIME....
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, see it in my eyes
Till you come
No one seemed to hear him
So he leafed through a magazine
And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away
Very sane he seemed to me
THIS PART I'M NOT SO SURE.
BUT I THINK IT COULD BE BOWIE ACCEPTING THE DEVIL AND HIS FATE, HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT THE DEMON HE HAS, THAT NOBODY SEE IT EXEPT HIM (COZ OF THE PACT WITH THE DEVIL AND ALL),
AND THAT NOW, HE LOOKS SANE TO HIM, HE "WORSHIPS" OR ACCEPT THE DEVIL NOW, HE EVEN DESCRIBES HIM AS A REGULAR AND SANE PERSON, THE DEVIL, LOOKING A MAGAZINE, BORING, THERE WITH HIM...
ANOTHER INTERPRETATION, COULD BE THAT THIS PART IS SOME KIND OF AN OUTSIDER OR 3RD PARTY'S VIEW, OR SOMEONE WHO DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF IN THE PRESENT.
BOWIE IS DEAD, AND YOU DIDN'T SEE THE MESSAGES IN THE SONGS, YOU DIDN'T HEAR HIM, SO BOWIE CARRIED ON, AND HE SEEMED SANE TO YOU.
THIS VERSE CONFUSES ME THE MOST, SO I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I THINK IT COULD BE ONE OF THE BOTH OR A MIX OF THOSE THINGS.
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, driven by the night
Till you come
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so)
Look back in anger, feel it in my voice
Till you come
(Waiting so long, ahhh...)
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (repeat ad inf.)
AND THATS IT.
I'm sorry if the caps bother.
Tell me what you think.

@InDem0 I think you're insane. He was talking about going to heaven.
