I heard you on my wireless back in ’52
I like awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
oh-a-oh

They took the credit for your second symphony (makes wierd noises)
Rewritten by machines on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
oh-a-oh
I met your children
oh-a-oh
What did you tell them

Video killed the radio star (X 2)

In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
oh-a-oh (x2)

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-a-oh
You were the first one
oh-a-oh
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star (X 2)

In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
oh, yeah

Video killed the radio star (X 2)

In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put all the blame on VCR

Crowd:
Oh, radio star (X 2)

Video killed the radio star (repeat 9 times)
