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 k**ed the radio star
Video k**ed 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 k**ed the radio star
Video k**ed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh
Video k**ed the radio star
Video k**ed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on vtr
You are a radio star
You are a radio star
Video k**ed the radio star
Video k**ed the radio star
Video k**ed the radio star
Video k**ed the radio star
Repeat
Video k**ed the radio star (You are a radio star)
