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
 
  
  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 hell 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
