I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two   Lying awake intent at tuning in on you   If I was young it didn't stop you coming through      Oh a oh      They took the credit for your second symphony   Rewritten by machine and new technology   And now I understand the problems you can see      Oh-a oh   I met your children   Oh-a oh   What did you tell them?      Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Pictures came and broke your heart      And now we meet in an abandoned studio   We hear the playback and it seems so long ago   And you remember the jingles used to go      Oh-a oh   You were the first one   Oh-a oh   You were the last one      Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   In my mind and in my car   We can't rewind, we've gone to far      The radio star      You are my radio star   You are my radio star      Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star      Pictures came and broke your heart   Put the blame on VCR   In my mind and in my car   We can't rewind, we've gone to far
