Starman
Discover the Cosmic Message in "Starman
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
Speaker didn't know the time, and the atmosphere was dimly lit
I leaned back on my radio
The speaker leaned back on their radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Someone was playing rock 'n' roll with a lot of soul
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
A loud sound faded away
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
The sound returned like a slow voice on a phased wave
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
The speaker realizes it wasn't a DJ but a hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Introduction of a "Starman" waiting in the sky, inviting humanity to meet but cautious about blowing minds; encouraging children to express themselves freely
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
The speaker had to share the experience and chose the listener
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Expressing amazement at the far-out concept introduced
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Suggesting to check the TV for more information
Look out your window I can see his light
Asking to look out the window to see the Starman's light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
If humanity shines, the Starman might land
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
Cautioning not to tell authority figures to avoid fear
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the Starman's presence and message for humanity and children
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
-There's a starman waiting in the sky
Continuation of the Starman's message, emphasizing the value of letting children express themselves
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
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Repetition of a joyful, rhythmic refrain
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
