Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll
"'Lotta soul," he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That was no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
[Verse 2]
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
You told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
[Verse 3]
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
[Verse 4]
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
[Verse 9]
