Lady Stardust
David Bowie
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



[Chorus]

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 (second time: really quite paradise)

And he sang all night long



Femme fatals 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]



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



[Chorus]
