Didn't know what time it was, the lights were lo-o-ow I leaned back on my radi-o-o Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll Lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fa-a-de Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha-a-se That weren't no DJ that was hazy, cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you, ooh, ooh Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too, ooh, ooh Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Lookin' out your window, I can see his li-i-ight If we can sparkle, he may land toni-i-ight Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, oh
Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children
There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, oh
He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie
