AFI LYRICS

"Ziggy Stardust"

Originally by David Bowie

Ziggy played guitar
Jammin' 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 balls
Just a 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 was 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

Ziggy Played Guitar
