I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you comin' through
Oh, oh
They took the credit for your second symphony (doododle-oodle-oodle-oot!)
Re-written by machine on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
Oh, oh
I met your children
Oh, oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
It's in my mind, and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far (rock out!)
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
Oh, oh
You were the first one
Oh, oh
You were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
It's in my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too...FAR!
All-right
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
It's 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
Doom doom, da doom doom doom
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
(You are)
Video killed the radio star
(a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
(You are)
Video killed the radio star
(a radio star)
Video killed the radio...star
