Starman (Johnnie Walker - Lunchtime Show) [Recorded 22.5.72] - David Bowie, Spiders from Mars

Starman

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

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

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»

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»
