I think it does make sense. Well, it's a ballad.. so it has a lot of metaphors. It's about Maxwell Demon, who is an alien, like Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie).
Got tired of wasting gas living above the planet
-He's in a spaceship above his planet, so he's wasting gas to power it)
Mister, show me the way to earth
-He wants to go to Earth
The boys of Quadrant 44 with their vicious metal hounds
-The astronauts from earth in their space ships
Never come around here no more
-Astronauts don't go to space much anymore
Sometimes I wonder if I'm still alive
-he's depresses
Six feet down at age 25
-People are buried six feet under and he feels dead. He's 25.
Maxwell Leather Demon rock hand jive
-His name and a dance move
I came down like water
-Water comes to Earth (rain) he came to Earth
For the age of solar
-for the solar age (60s//70s)
Hail to the father
Kiss your sons and daughters
Goodbye goodbye
-he's going to destroy earth. Brain Slade brings glam rock to the youth, which currupts them
Steam steady roller
Lady tongue controller
Ten feet tall, better walk it back down
-What they become
Despite the great duress, always get off 'cause damn it!
It's the only sure-fire way to win
Your poison doesn't hurt me, no
-They are trying to kill him. Bring him down
Tender wine disguised in a milk-fat fair kiddie show
I'm here to celebrate the one below
-He worships the Devil. Glam rock is the devil.
At last I've heard from good God above
As the slap on my ass by a lipstick-kissed elbow glove
-he's saying their God isn't who they think he is. He is glamorous like him
