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 coming through
Oh oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now i understand the supernova scene
Oh oh
I met the children
Oh oh
What did you tell them

Video killed the radio star (x2)
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far

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 on
Oh oh
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star (x2)
In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Too far!
Alright

Video killed the radio star (x2)
It's my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
So put all the blame on vcr

You are radio star (x2)
Video killed the radio star (x7)
Yes video killed that radio star, yes it did
