This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
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
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

This has social commentary like crazy. It's about the music industry. and the illuminati.
In 1969, young Mr. Bowie captured the public's attention with the simple psychedelic anthem "Space Oddity." He quickly went on to denounce fame once he realized how rigged the system was (the man who sold the world). he then began to experiment and develop his sound and get an identity as a musician on his own (hunky dory).
Ziggy Stardust was Bowie's way of approaching the mainstream without sacrificing his inner life... Bowie's thoughtform, or golem. Until then, he had no desire to work for the big guys. Finally he acquiesces, "I'll be a rock and roll bitch for you." Thus begins Bowie's prostitution career; he will accept fame, try to keep his soul, and try to inspire people.
"Keep your lectric eye on me babe" is an orwellian reference to the panopticon, the society that is ever-monitored and ever-controlled through use of force (put your ray gun to my head).
The Church of Man is a reference to the Luciferian doctrine, which worships above all else the human intellect, Reason. The luciferian doctrine is accepted in all masonic cults.
Bowie gives a better explanation on his previous album, Hunky Dory, in the song entitled "Quicksand". Look it up, but don't fall down the rabbit hole.
@KingGraham I don't think he necessarily denounced fame at this point. Ziggy really threw him at breakneck speed into fame. So this song was already written at this point. But i do like your interpretation all the same.<br />
