Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll (he said)
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
(That was 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'll blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he thinks it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Don't tell your papa 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'll blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he thinks it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'll blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he thinks it's all worthwhile
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'll blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'll blow our minds
