[Verse]
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 songs went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite outta sight
He sang all night long

[Verse]
Femme fatales emerged from shadows to watch this creature fair
Boys stood up on their chairs to make thеir point of view
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obеy
Lady Stardust sang his songs of darkness and dismay

[Chorus]
And he was alright
The band was all together
Yes, he was alright
The songs went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night long
