Like a leper messiah

So now there's a band called Leather Messiah. Guess I'm not the only one.
Like a leopard messiah.
Like a leper messiah.

Ziggy played the times,
driving us that we were voodoo,
the bitch wins his class,
he was canast,
with God given ass
Ziggy played for time,
jiving us that we were voodoo,
the kids were just crass,
he was the nazz,
with God given ass
