I heard you on my wireless back in '52   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 supernova scene   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      In my mind and in my car   We can't rewind, we've gone too far   Oh-a-a-a oh, oh-a-a-a oh      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      It's in my mind and in my car   We can't rewind we've gone too far, too far   Oh-a-aho oh, oh-a-aho oh, alright      Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star      It's in my mind and in my car   We can't rewind we've gone to far   Pictures came and broke your heart   So put all the blame on VCR      You are a radio star   You are a radio star      Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star      Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Video killed the radio star   Video killed that radio star      Yes it did
