Ziggy Stardust Song Lyrics - Easy Star All-Stars

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

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 flies tried to break our bones? 
With just the beer light to guide us 
So we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?

Oh, yeah
Mm-hmm

Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we were voodoo
The kids were 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
Ooh
Ziggy played guitar
