Ziggy played guitar
Jamming good with Weird and Giddy
The Spiders From Mars
He played it left hand
But made it too far
And 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 hugged and snow-white tan
But where were the spiders
When the fly tried to break our balls?
Just the beer light to guide us
When we bitched about his fans
And should we crush his sweet hands?
Ziggy played for time
Jiving us that we was voodoo
The kids was just crass
He was a nazz
A 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
Ziggy played guitar
