Starman

David Bowie Rock English

Vocabulary from David Bowie: 'Starman'.

Hey, now, now

Goodbye, love

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 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 the children lose it

Let the children use it

Let all the children boogie

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
