Didn't know what time it was the lights were low oh how

I leaned back on my radio oh oh

Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul' he said

Then the loud sound did seem to fade a ade

Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase ha hase

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 ho ho

Hey' that's far out so you heard him too o o

Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two

Look out your window I can see his light a ight

If we can sparkle he may land tonight a 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

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

La' la' la' la' la' la' la' la
