“Ziggy Stardust” Lyrics - David Bowie

Lyrics

“Ziggy Stardust”


Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird 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


Now Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick ’em by smiling

He could leave ’em to hang

‘Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan


So where were the spiders, while the fly tried to break our balls

With 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 kid was just crass, he was the nazz

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
