Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some"Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n'
roll 'lotta soul, and roll, lotta soul", he saidenter added
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our mindsenter added
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me -
Let"Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie boogie"

I had to phone someone someone, so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too! too
Switch on the TV TV, we may pick him up on Channel Two channel two

Look out your window window, I can see the light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our mindsenter added
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me -
Let"Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie boogie"

Culture Club faithfully covered this
David Bowie hit (it reached No.10 in
the UK and No.65 in the US in July
1972) on their '98 Re-wind Tour so
well that it has become a fixture at
Culture Club concerts, got a joint
A-Side single with Cold Shoulder and
also features on the new album,
Don't Mind If I Do. ...
