Lyrics

Hey now, now
Goodbye, love
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 weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waitin' in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waitin' 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
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
There's a starman waitin' in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waitin' 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"
Starman waitin' in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waitin' 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"
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la-la, la, la, la-la
