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 said      Then 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 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, 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 two      Lookin' 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 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, oh      Let the children lose it   Let the children use it   Let all the children      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, oh      He told me   Let the children lose it   Let the children use it   Let all the children boogie
