I heard you my wireless back in 52
Lying awake, intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh, ah, oh

They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
Oh, ah, oh

I met your children
Oh, ah, oh
What did you tell them

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh, ah, ah, ho, oh
Oh, ah, ah, ho, oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember how the jingles used to go
Oh, ah, oh

You were the first one
Oh, ah, oh
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far (too far)
Oh, ah, ah, ho, oh
Oh, ah, ah, ho, oh (alright)

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Pictures came and broke your heart, so put all the blame on VCR

You are a radio star
You are a radio star

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

(You are a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
'Cause video killed that radio star, yes it did
