Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
We had five years, left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth, was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet,
And I knew, he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house,
favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons, and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things
To fit everything in there
All the fat skinny people
All the tall short people
All the nobody people
All the the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people

A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't pulled her off
I think, she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a preist
And the queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw ou in an ice cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving, and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in this song
It was cold and it rained
And I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma, and I wanted to get back ther
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk

We got five years
stuck in my eye
Five years
What a surprise
Five years
My brain hurts a lot
Five years
That's all we got

SOUL LOVE

MOONAGE DAYDREAM

I'm an alligator,
I'm a momma poppa comin' for you
I'm a space invader
I'll be a rockin' rollin' bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut
You're squawkin' like a pink monkey bird
And I'm busting up my brains for the words

CHORUS:
Keep you 'lectric eye on me, babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a Moonage Daydream, oh yeah

Don't fake it baby
Lay the real thing on me
To know the church of man,
Is such a holy place to be
Don't wanna fake it baby
Make me know you really care,
make me jump into the air

CHORUS TWICE

STARMAN

Didn't know what time it was the lights were low
I laid back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll
A lotta soul he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ that was hazy cosmic jive

CHORUS:
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a Starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worth while he told me
Let the children lose it,
Let the children use it,
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey that's far out, so you heard him too
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

CHORUS

IT AIN'T EASY

LADY STARDUST

People stared at the makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped onto the stage
And Lady Stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace

CHORUS:
And he was all right the band was all together
And he was all right the song went on forever:
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long

Femme fatales emerged from the shadows
To watch this creature fair
Boys stood up on their chairs
To make their piont of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay

CHORUS

Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

CHORUS

STAR

HANG ON TO YOURSELF

ZIGGY STARDUST

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 harido
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 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

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

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

SUFFRAGETTE CITY

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry get off the phone
I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
Hey man, my school days insance
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Hey man, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she, and then she

CHORUS:
Oh don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
No don't lean on me man, 'cause you aint' got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight, she's all right

Hey man, ah Henry don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take you this time
Hey man, droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one
And here she comes, here she comes

CHORUS

Ah, wham, bam, thank you ma'am

CHORUS

Ah, Suffragette
