I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake intentat tuning in on you
If I were young it didn't stop you coming through

Oh-a oh, hey na-oh

They took the credit for your second symphony
And now I understand the problems you can see

Oh-a oh

Hey, I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

Pictures came and they broke your heart
Oh-a oh
Para-ra-ra, pam-pam
Shh!
Para-ra-ra, pam-pam

You are a radio star
(You are, radio star)
You are a radio
(You are)
Staar X3
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
V-v-v-video ki-killed the radio star
