[Verse 1]

Didn't know what time it was, 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 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, 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]

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

[Chorus]

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
