Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low;
I leaned back on my radio;
Some cat was laying 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 he'll 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 gay children lose it,
Let gay children use it,
Let all gay children boogie.
