Lyrics

We all said, "Who's that guy?"
We all said, "Who's that guy?"
All the boys wanted to be him.
All the girls wanted to be with him.
Everyone wanted to be a Spider from Mars.

And we played guitar.
Yeah, we played guitar.
We were the Spiders from Mars.

We all said, "Who's that guy?"
We all said, "Who's that guy?"
Cool as a cat in a fire,
He was our leper messiah,
Making us feel alive with his cosmic jive.

And we played guitar.
Yeah, we played guitar.
We were the Spiders from Mars.

Ooh, how we sighed!
It was wonderful!
Oh, we fell in love all right!
Yeah, we were rock n roll stars!

We all said, "Who's that guy who can talk to the nobody people?"
We all said, "Who's that guy with the soul of a flaming dove?"
Oh, it ain't easy to fight when you're dashed against the wall.
Oh, but we knew that he loved us all.

And we played guitar.
Yeah, we played guitar.
We were the Spiders from Mars.

("I love, I love, I love you all.")
