'Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan. Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling. Now Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo. "Just the beer light to guide us," He is stating that his alternative ego and his just turn to alcohol and drugs. Ziggy Stardust Lyrics by David Bowie from the Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Bonus Tracks album - including song video. Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's band. "So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls" This could be saying where's the rest of the band 'cause Ziggy/Lady is gettin' his balls broken.

He went on stage in a white robes and said, "I am Jesus Christ and I bring you the Loard's message!"' In so doing, Taylor effectly commited rock'n'roll suicide, and the incident lodged in Bowie's imagination powering his own writing of the archetypal dommed rock star whose superstardom grew too big for a mere mortal to handle." - David Buckley, From the Ziggy Stardust 30th Anniversary 2 cd edition album.

Lady Stardust is about people questioning his choices with "Oh! You Pretty Things", Ziggy Stardust is about Bowie realizing that he may have really killed his older fan base, which was important to him.
