Starman
Embrace Cosmic Revelations
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
Unaware of the time and in a dimly lit environment
I leaned back on my radio
Relaxed against the 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
The loud sound disappeared momentarily
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
The sound returned slowly like a voice on a wave
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
It wasn't a DJ but rather an obscure, mystical music
There's a starman waiting in the sky
There is an extraterrestrial being (Starman) waiting in space
He'd like to come and meet us
He wants to meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
But he fears it might overwhelm or astound us
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the presence of the Starman waiting in space
He's told us not to blow it
He's cautioned humans not to mess things up
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Because he knows the meeting is significant
He told me
The Starman communicated this message
Let the children lose it
Suggesting that children should let go of inhibitions
Let the children use it
Allowing children to make use of what's being offered
Let all the children boogie
Encouraging all children to dance or enjoy freely
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
The narrator had to inform someone about the Starman
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Expressing surprise that the person also heard about the Starman
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Suggesting to tune in to television to possibly catch the Starman's signal
Look out your window, I can see his light
Seeing the Starman's light from the window
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Implying if humans can shine, the Starman might visit
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
Warning not to inform parental figures, fearing consequences
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the Starman's presence
He'd like to come and meet us
Expresses his desire to meet humanity
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Concerned about overwhelming human minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Repeats the idea of the Starman waiting in space
He's told us not to blow it
Emphasizes not ruining the opportunity
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Knowing the encounter has significant value
He told me
Communicated message from the Starman
Let the children lose it
Encouraging the liberation of children
Let the children use it
Urging children to utilize what's available to them
Let all the children boogie
Encouragement for all children to revel and dance freely
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Repeating 'la' sounds, possibly emphasizing the enjoyment of music
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiteration of the idea of the Starman waiting in space
He'd like to come and meet us
Expresses his wish to meet humanity
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Concerned about overwhelming human minds
He told me
Repeated encouragement to let children be free
Let the children use it
Encouraging children's use of the opportunity
Let the children lose it
Urging children to let go and enjoy
Let all the children boogie
Encouragement for all children to revel and dance freely
