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 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 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 (2*)
