A letra:
People stared at the
makeup on his face
Laughed at his long black hair, his animal
grace
The boy in the bright blue jeans
Jumped up on the stage
And lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and disgrace
And he was alright, the
band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night
long
Femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this
creature fair
Boys stood upon their chairs
To make their
point of view
I smiled sadly for a love
I could not obey
Lady stardust sang his songs
Of darkness and dismay
And he was alright, the
band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night
long
All night long
Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew
his name
And he was alright, the
band was altogether
Yes he was alright, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
He sang all night long
