about

Starman coming through the airwaves.

lyrics

Starman said, “the earth’s almost dead”
On the radio last night
Starman sang, his voice really rang
Transmissions from his antennae

Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear all the songs he’s been playing?
DJ Clark After Dark jockin’ discs from his bus in the sky
Well we learned all the words of the Starman and sang ‘em back to him…
Will he tune into us tonight?

That weren’t no DJ, that were hazy cosmic jive
We’ll send a message with our blinking cell phone lights
That weren’t no DJ, that were hazy cosmic jive
(Don’t tell dad)

Gravity- the ability
To hold me to the ground
Transcending the FM static
Of Starman’s orbit ‘round

Can you hear, can you hear, can you hear all the songs he’s been playing?
DJ Clark After Dark jockin’ discs from his bus in the sky
Well we learned all the words of the Starman and sang ‘em back to him…
Will he tune into us tonight?

That weren’t no DJ, that were hazy cosmic jive
We’ll send a message with our blinking cell phone lights
That weren’t no DJ, that were hazy cosmic jive
(Don’t tell dad)
