Starman
Celestial Wisdom: Unraveling the Cosmic Message in The Comptones' Starman
Lyrics
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
Unaware of the time, in a dimly lit environment
I leaned back on my radio
Leaning back on a radio
Some cat was layin' down some get it on rock 'n' roll, he said
Someone playing energetic rock 'n' roll
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Loud sound fading away
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze
Returning like a slow voice on a wave of phase haze
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive
Not a D.J., but hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
A celestial being is waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
Wants to meet humans
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fears blowing human minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
A celestial being is waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Advises not to ruin the opportunity
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Because it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Direct communication from the celestial being
Let the children lose it
Suggesting letting the children experience it
Let the children use it
Encouraging the use of the experience by children
Let all the children boogie
Encouraging all children to dance
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Feeling the need to share the experience, choosing someone to share with
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too
Expressing excitement at the shared experience
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Suggesting tuning in to a TV channel to get more information
Look out your window I can see his light
Observing a light outside the window
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
If humans can shine, the celestial being might arrive
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
Warning not to inform authority figures
There's a starman waiting in the sky
A celestial being is waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
Wants to come and meet humans
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fears blowing human minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
A celestial being is waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Advises not to ruin the opportunity
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Because it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Direct communication from the celestial being
Let the children lose it
Suggesting letting the children experience it
Let the children use it
Encouraging the use of the experience by children
Let all the children boogie
Encouraging all children to dance
There's a starman waiting in the sky
A celestial being is waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
Wants to come and meet humans
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
Fears blowing human minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
A celestial being is waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Advises not to ruin the opportunity
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Because it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Direct communication from the celestial being
Let the children lose it
Suggesting letting the children experience it
Let the children use it
Encouraging the use of the experience by children
Let all the children boogie
Encouraging all children to dance
