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 (repeat)
