I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying 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
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

oho, you were the 1st born
Oho, you were the last born

Video killed the radio star
Video Killed the radio star
in my mind and in my car
we cant rewind we've gone to far
oh - a - oh oh oh
oh - a - oh oh oh

~repeat~

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! radio star!

oh-a-oh
oh-a-oh
oh-a-oh
