I heard you on my wireless back in fifty-two Lying awake intent at turning in on you If I was young it didn't stop you coming through Oh-wo oh They took the credit for your second symphony Rewriting by machine and new technology And now I understand the problems you can see Oh-wo oh I met your children What did you tell them Video kill the radio star Video kill the radio star Picture came and broke your heart Oh-wo 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-wo oh You were the first one You were the last one Video kill the radio star Video kill the radio star In my mind and in my car We can't rewind we've gone too far Oh-oh oh Oh-wo oh Wu-wu wu Video kill the radio star Video kill 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 VCR You are the radio star You are the radio star You are the radio star You are the radio star Oh-- oh Video kill the radio star Video kill the radio star Video kill the radio star Video kill the radio star You are the radio star You are the radio star You are the radio star You are the radio star
