ziggy stardust

ziggy played guitar

jamming good with wierd and gilly

and the spiders from mars. he played it left hand

but made it too far

became the special man

then we were ziggy's band. ziggy really sang

screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdos

like some cat from japan

he could lick 'em by smiling

he could leave 'em to hang

he came on so loaded man

well-hung and snow white tan. so where were the spiders

while the fly tried to break our balls?

just the beer light to guide us. so we bitched about his fans

and should we crush his sweet hands?

ziggy played for time

jiving us that we were voodoo

the kids were just crass

he was the naz

with god given ass

he took it all too far

but

boy

could he play guitar. making love with his ego

ziggy sucked up into his mind

like a leper messiah

when the kids had killed the man

i had to break up the band

oh yeah

ziggy played guitar
