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 saidThen 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 jiveThere'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 worthwhileHe told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogieI 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 twoLookin' 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 frightThere'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, ohLet the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the childrenThere'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, ohHe told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
