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)
+
Video killed the radio star
+
Video killed the radio star
+
(You are a radio star)
+
Oh-a oh
+
Oh-a oh
+
Oh-a oh
+
