Intro

Oh

Oh yeah

Ah

Verse 1

Now 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

Verse 2

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

He came on so loaded, man, well-hung and snow-white tan

Chorus

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?

Oh

Verse 3

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

Chorus

Making love with his ego

Ziggy sucked up into his mind (Ah)

Like a leper messiah

When the kids had killed the man

I had to break up the band

Outro

Oh yeah

Ooh

Ziggy played guitar
