Lyrics

Lady Stardust

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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, his song went on forever

And he was awful nice

Really quite paradise

And he sang all night, all night long

Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

Oh that was alright, the band was altogether

Yes he was alright and the song went on forever

He was awful nice

Really quite paradise

He sang all night long
