10.000 Maniacs - 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 us:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

La, la, la, la ….

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 us:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

La, la, la, la ….
