[ David Bowie ]. . 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*).
