Video Killed the Radio Star

I heard you
On the wireless
Back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent
At 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
Rewritten by machine
And new technology
And now I understand
The problems you can see

Oh-a, oh

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 broke your heart
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet
In an abandoned studio
We 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
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind
We've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

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
Put the blame on VTR

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)
