[verse 1]

          
People stared 

           
at the makeup 

  
on his face
             
Laughed at his

           
 long black ha

             
ir, his animal

 
 grace
           
The boy in the

 
 bright blue j

eans
             
Jumped up on t

   
he stage
             
And Lady Stard

    
ust sang his s

ongs
             
Of darkness an

          
d disgrace

[chorus]

            
And he was alr

            
ight, the band

r
             
Yes he was alr

            
ight, the song

          
 went on forev

er
           
And he was awf

   
ul nice
          
Really quite o

      
ut of sight
          
And he sang al

                 
l night long

[verse 2]

          
Femme fatale  

             
emerged from s

#
hadows
         
To watch this 

 
creature fair
            
Boys stood upo

#
n 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 an
