Stardust, lyric by Martin L. Gore

from the songs album Counterfeit

Ah look what they've done to the rock'n'roll clown
Ah rock'n'roll clown, look he's down on the ground
Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down

Roll on up, won't you come and take a look at me
Roll on up, come one at a time, and see me
See my painted-on grin as a stand up to sing
In a stardust fling, hey rock'n'roll king is down

But he's the leader of the band
He is a lonely man
Do-Don't you wanna take his hand
Yes you know you can, can, can

Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
In a stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
In a stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down
