About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 Lady Stardust sang his songs of darkness and disgrace [Chorus] And he was alright The band was all together Yes, he was alright The song went on forever Yes, he was awful nice Really quite outta sight And he sang all night long [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And he was alright The band was all together Yes, he was alright The song went on forever And he was awful nice Really quite paradise, and he sang All night, all night long [Bridge] Ooh, how I sighed When they asked if I knew his name [Chorus] Oh, it was alright The band was all together Yes, he was alright And the song went on forever He was awful nice Really quite paradise, he sang All night long [Outro] Lookin' closely now
