DAVID BOWIE - STARMAN
Hey Now, Now
Oh, Oh, Oh
Didn't Know What Time It Was, The Lights Were Low
I Leaned Back On My Radio
Some Cat Was Laying Down Some Rock 'N' Roll
"Lotta Soul," He Said
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 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
Hey, That's Far Out, So You Heard Him Too
Switch On The Tv, We May Pick Him Up On Channel Two
Look Out Your Window, I Can See His Light
If We Can Sparkle He May Land Tonight
Don't Tell Your Poppa 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 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
Starman Waiting In The Sky
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

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): David Bowie
Producer(s): David Bowie, Ken Scott
Being A Part Of Ziggy Stardust Story, "Starman" Tells About The End Of The World Which Is Going To Come In Five Years.
According To David Bowie's Interview With William S. Burroughs For Rolling Stone Magazine In 1973, Ziggy Stardust Is Not The Starman But Only Starman's Messenger Who Speaks To The Youth Of The Earth. So, Ziggy Is Not Extraterrestrial, Actually, Contrary To The Popular Opinion.
The Chorus Of This Song Was Inspired By The Song "Over The Rainbow" From The Film "The Wizard Of Oz" (1939).
David Bowie Made A Famous Performance Of This Song On The British Tv Show "Top Of The Pops" In 1972. He Was Dressed As Ziggy Stardust With Flame-Coloured Hair And Multi-Coloured Jumpsuit.
