Lyrics
STARMAN -- words and music by David Bowie
Verse-
didn't know what time it was the lights were low
i leaned back on my radio
some cat was laying down some rock and roll "lotta soul" he said
then that 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
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 use it, let the children lose it, let all the children boogie
Verse-
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
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 use it, let the children lose 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 use it, let the children lose it, let all the children boogie
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la
