I heard you on my wireless back in '52 I like awake intent on tuning in on you If I was young it didn't stop you coming through oh-a-oh They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machines on new technology And now I understand the supernova scene oh-a-oh You met the first one oh-a-oh I met your children Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far And now we meet in an abandoned studio You hear the playback and it seems so long ago And I remember, the jingles used to go, oh-a-oh You were the first one oh-a-oh You were the last one Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far Too far! Alright Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far Pictures came and broke your heart Put all the blame on VCR....ready? You are... the radio star (x2) Video killed the radio star (x8)
