I heard you on my 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 supernova scene

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

In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone too far
Whoa!
Oh-a-a-a oh

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
Video killed the radio star
'cause 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
So put the blame on VCR

You're a radio star
You're 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
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed that radio star, yes it did
