[Verso 1]
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was laying down
Some rock 'n' roll, that is how he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze
That weren't no D.J
That was hazy cosmic jive

[Estribillo]
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"
