Lady Stardust (Alternative Version - Take 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

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 out of sight

And he sang all night long

The 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 all together

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

Oh, how I sighed

When they asked if I knew his name

Oh, he was alright

The band was all together

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

Well, let's do another one, straight off
