Starman
Cosmic Revelations: Starman's Message to Earth
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
Uncertainty about the time, dim lights setting the mood
I leaned back on my radio
Relaxing, listening to the radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll
Someone playing rock 'n' roll with passion
Lotta soul, he said
Expressing enthusiasm for the music, soulful vibes
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Music fading but returning like a distant voice
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
Resurfacing with a slow voice, cosmic and mysterious
That weren't no DJ that was hazy, cosmic jive
Realization that it's not a DJ but a cosmic force
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Introduction of the Starman, an extraterrestrial figure
He'd like to come and meet us
Starman wants to meet humans
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fears that meeting the Starman would be overwhelming
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the Starman's presence
He's told us not to blow it
Advice not to squander the opportunity
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Acknowledgment that it's worth the experience
He told me
Communication from the Starman
Let the children lose it
Encouragement to let go of inhibitions
Let the children use it
Encouragement to use the opportunity
Let all the children boogie
Encouragement for all to enjoy and dance
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you, ooh, ooh
Need to share the experience, reaching out to someone
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too, ooh, ooh
Excitement about the shared experience
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Suggesting to check the news to learn more about the Starman
Lookin' out your window, I can see his light
Observing the Starman's light from the window
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Hoping to attract the Starman with a sparkling presence
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
Awareness of potential consequences, secrecy advised
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the Starman's presence and intention
He'd like to come and meet us
Starman's desire to meet humanity
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fear of a mind-blowing encounter
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Repetition of the Starman's message
He's told us not to blow it
Reminder not to waste the opportunity
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, oh
Acknowledgment of the meaningful nature of the experience
Let the children lose it
Encouragement to let go and enjoy
Let the children use it
Encouragement for everyone to make the most of the moment
Let all the children
Continuation of the call to children to enjoy and dance
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the Starman's presence and purpose
He'd like to come and meet us
Starman's desire to connect with humans
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fear of the potential impact on the mind
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Repeating the caution not to squander the opportunity
He's told us not to blow it
Reaffirmation that the experience is valuable
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile, oh
Emphasis on the worthiness of the encounter
He told me
Personal confirmation of the Starman's message
Let the children lose it
Reiteration of the encouragement to let go and enjoy
Let the children use it
Reiteration of the encouragement for everyone to make the most of the moment
Let all the children boogie
Final call for everyone, especially children, to dance and enjoy
