Didn't know what time it was and 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      La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la      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      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      (Music)      There's a starman waiting in the sky   He'd like to come and meet us   But he thinks he'd blow our minds      He told me:   Let the children lose it   Let the children use it   Let all the children boogie
