Ziggy Stardust by The Gourds Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2001

[Verse 1: Jimmy Smith]
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

[Verse 2: Jimmy Smith]
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

[Chorus 1: Jimmy Smith]
So where were the Spiders
While the fly 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
Ahhh!
[Verse 3: Jimmy Smith]
Ziggy played for time
Living us that we was voodoo
The kids was just crass
He was the nazz
With God-given ass
He took it all too far
But, boy, could he play guitar

[Chorus 2: Jimmy Smith]
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
Ahhh!

[Outro]
Oh yeah!
Oh!
Ziggy played guitar
