It's about being alone and unloved when the rest of the world has a love of some sort. All Ziggy has is his romantism (love of love) and he knows that he's missing out, but he's unwilling to do anything, since he's afraid of getting hurt, but he'd do anything to be in love for just one second.
@Child Of Music your interpretation reminds me of a common theme from the original Star Trek series: human emotion is so engrossing, important, and significant that aliens are willing to go to great lengths to experience it however briefly. In Star Trek aliens lie, cheat, kill, betray their deepest principles to experience human emotions for a while.

Ziggy is a gentler kind of alien. He’s more like a hungry waiting outside a restaurant looking in and watching people dine. Watching with growing interest and longing.

The line “Idiot love will spark the fusion” sounds like biology: human beings are...
The line “Idiot love will spark the fusion” sounds like biology: human beings are created by spectacularly random series of events leading to fusion of two gametes. People make babies in conspicuously reckless ways that are driven by something he envisions as an implacable kind of love driving us together regardless of our personal needs or wishes. But at the end of the day, we are all (?) in love with the idea of love. Brilliant , hard hitting poetry straight from the world weary heart of a beautiful man who had the world throwing itself at his feet.
God bless David Bowie.
