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 D.J. 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   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 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      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
