I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake, intent in 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 on 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, wow!
Oh, oh-oh-a-oh
Oh, oh-oh-a-oh
And now, we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And I 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 too far, too far!
Oh, oh-oh-a-oh
Oh, oh-oh-a-oh, alright
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 too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
So puts all the blame on VCR
You are radio star
You are 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)
Video killed the radio star (radio star)
Video killed the radio star (you are)
Video killed that radio star, yes it did (radio star)
