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
ah wa ah wa
They took the credit for your second symphony
rewritten by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
ah wa ah wa
I met your children
ah wa ah wa
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
aww ah ah ah aww
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
ah wa ah wa
You were the first one
ah wa ah wa
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
aww ah ah ah aww
aww ah ah ah aww
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
look I’ll play my VCR
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
(You are a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star)
Video killed the radio star
(You are a radio star)
