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 '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 D.J. 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


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 poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright


[CHORUS (x2)]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
