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 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

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

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, put the blame on VTR

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

Video killed the radio star. (You are a radio star.)
