He Was Alright (A Song For Marc) Lyrics - David Bowie

1 People stared at the makeup on his face

2 Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace

3 The boy in the bright blue jeans

4 Jumped up on the stage

5 And lady stardust sang his songs

6 Of darkness and disgrace

7 And he was alright, the band was altogether

8 Yes he was alright, the song went on forever

9 And he was awful nice

10 Really quite out of sight (second time: really quite paradise)

11 And he sang all night long

12 Femme fatales emerged from shadows

13 To watch this creature fair

14 Boys stood upon their chairs

15 To make their point of view

16 I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey

17 Lady stardust sang his songs

18 Of darkness and dismay

19 And he was alright, the band was altogether

20 Yes he was alright, the song went on forever

21 And he was awful nice

22 Really quite out of sight (second time: really quite paradise)

23 And he sang all night long

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

25 And he was alright, the band was altogether

26 Yes he was alright, the song went on forever

27 And he was awful nice

28 Really quite out of sight (second time: really quite paradise)

29 And he sang all night long
