[Verse 1]
I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through oh-wa-oh

[Verse 2]
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machines and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see oh-wa-oh

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I met your children oh-wa-oh
What did you tell them?

[Chorus]
Video killed the radio star

[Verse 3]
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
Do you remember the jingles used to go ohoh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You were the first one
You were the last one
[Chorus]
Video killed the radio star

[Hook]
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VCR

[Hook]
In my mind and in my car
(Video killed the radio star)
We can't rewind we've gone too far
(Video killed the radio star)
Pictures came and broke your heart
(Video killed the radio star)
Put the blame on VCR
(Video killed the radio star)
