[Verse 1]
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Someâ
catâ
was layinâ downâ
some rock 'n' roll
"Lotta soul," heâ
said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back likeâaâslowâvoice on aâwave of phase
Thatâwerenât no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you
Hey, thatâs 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
Donât tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
[Chorus]
Thereâs 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
Heâs 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
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la
[Chorus]
Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the childten use it
Let all the children boogie
