I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you
I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' bitch for you
Keep your mouth shut, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird
And I'm busting up my brains for the words

Keep your '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
The church of man, love, is such a holy place to be
Make me baby, make me know you really care
Make me jump into the air

Keep your '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

Keep your '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

Keep your '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

Freak out, far out, in out

    Bowie's Ziggy Stardust phase revolutionized stage performance and ushered in the British Glam Rock movement. a movement that Bowie left very soon after it gained international popularity.

    it was in this period, Bowie pursued his interest in B-rated science fiction by bringing together a band of extraterrestrial musicians, the Spiders From Mars, and interlacing social commentary within choons about space exploration.

    after all, humanity had already travelled once to the moon. but perhaps the human psyche was and is the Final Frontier. from Bowie's astonishing Ziggy Stardust compendium, it would appear the latter is true.

    enter Moonage Daydream. more B-movie banter in this one, than any social opinion; sci-fi imagery. one of Bowie's most underrated masterpieces.

    there you go, kids! knock yourselves out!
