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 and roll, lotta soul", he said



Then the loud sound did seem to fade

Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase

That weren't no DJ, 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

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 the 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'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

La la la la, la la la la
