Starman Lyrics

Originally done by David Bowie

Hey la la...Hey la la... 
Didn't know what time it was, and
the lights were low - ow - ow 
I leaned back on my radio - o -
o 
Some cat was laying down some rock 'n' roll, "lotta soul",
he said.
Then the loud sound did seem to fa - a - ade, 
Came back like
a slow voice on a wave of pha - a - ase, 
That weren't no D.J., 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 play. 

I had to phone someone, so
I picked on you - ou - ou 
Hey, that's far out, so you heard tim too - oo
- oo 
Switch on the T.V., we may pick him on channel two.
Look out
your window, I can see his ligh - igh - ight, 
if we can sparkle he may
land tonigh - igh - ight, 
Don't tell your papa 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 the children lose it, let the children use
it, 
Let all the children boogie. 

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 play
