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 hair-do
  Like some cat from Japan
  He could lick 'em by smiling
  He could leave them 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 the beer light to guide us
  So we bitch about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands
    Ziggy played for time
  Jiving us that we were voodoo
  But 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
  We had to break up the band
    Now Ziggy played guitar
