Starman
Discovering Cosmic Wisdom: Starman's Message Unveiled
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
Character is unaware of the time, in a setting with dim lights.
I leaned back on my radio
The character reclines on a radio.
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Someone is playing rock 'n' roll with a lot of soul on the radio.
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
A loud sound fades away.
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
The sound returns slowly, resembling a voice on a phased wave.
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
The voice is not from a DJ but a hazy cosmic jive.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Introduces the concept of a "starman" waiting in the sky.
He'd like to come and meet us
The starman wants to meet humanity.
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fears he might overwhelm or astonish us.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiterates the presence of the starman.
He's told us not to blow it
Advises not to spoil the opportunity presented by the starman.
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Confirms that the starman believes the encounter is valuable.
He told me
The starman personally communicates with the narrator.
Let the children lose it
Encourages letting the children experience something.
Let the children use it
Encourages the use of what the children have.
Let all the children boogie
Encourages all children to dance or enjoy life.
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Narrator feels the need to share this information with someone.
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Expresses surprise at the uniqueness of the situation.
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Suggests checking the TV to possibly see the starman.
Look out your window I can see his light
Asks to look outside to see the starman's light.
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
If humanity sparkles, the starman might arrive tonight.
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
Warns not to tell parents or face consequences.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Repeats the idea of a starman waiting.
He'd like to come and meet us
Reiterates the starman's desire to meet us.
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Repeats the concern that the encounter might overwhelm us.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
