moonage daydream

prismacolor markers on sketchbook paper.

this is one of my very favorite songs off one of my very favorite albums by one of my very favorite musicians. LOL

the song so embodies the groovyness of the very early '70s. the album came out in 1972, just one year after i was born. what i wouldn't give to have been a teenager at that time!

the video is footage from david's last performance as ziggy stardust and comes from a famous film that records the whole performance.

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!

Freak out, far out, in out
