Ode To Ziggy Stardust

It's a space oddity
for all that this came too
for the man who sold the world
should have sold it all to you

Let's dance, for we are heroes
we know there's life on Mars
you our dear modern love
now dance amongst the stars

You were a rebel, rebel starman
Our world gone through changes
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Your body, your soul exchanges

We know you're still alive
but where are we now?
Maybe next a china girl?
we'll meet again somehow

My favorite is "The Man Who Sold the World" then I think "Changes" brilliant artist. Way ahead of his time. Oh yeah, Love the tribute.
