Moonage Daydream

Lyrics Information

[performed lyrics unknown]


[original lyrics]

I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa comin' 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 the moonage daydream oh! yea!

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 the moonage daydream oh! yea!

Quotes

Jack White:

    "Yeah it just seemed oh this is a really great song [Screwdriver]. I have early tapes of us just messing around doing that and Bowies Moon Age Daydream - which Meg is a big fan of that song so we tried playing that - we thought it sounded really good and we thought why don't we work on this."
