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
