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 all right, the band was all together
Yes, he was all right, the song went on forever
Yes, he was awful nice
Really quite out of sight
And he sang all night long
[Verse 2]
Femme fatales emerged from shadows
To watch this creature fare
Boys stood up on 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 all right, the band was all together
Yes, he was all right, the song went on forever
And he was awful nice
Really quite paradise
And he sang all night, all night long (All night long)
[Bridge]
Oh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name
[Chorus]
Oh, it was all right, the band was all together
Yes, he was all right, and the song went on forever (All right)
He was awful nice
Really quite paradise
He sang all night long (All night long)
[Outro]
Get some pussy now
