[Verse 1]

Didn't know wh

at time it was

 the lights we

re low-ow-ow.

 I lean back o

n my radio-o-o
             
 Some cat was 

              
laying down so

 
me rock'n'roll

,
              
'Lotta soul' h

          
e said.


[Verse 2]

 Then the loud

 sound did see

m to fa-a-ade

 Came back lik

e a slow voice

 on a wave of 

pha-a-ase
             
 That weren't 

              
no DJ that was

            
 hazy cosmic j

        
ive.


[Chorus]
             
There's a star

    
man waiting in

 the sky
            
He'd like to c

        
ome and meet u

s
             
But he thinks 

             
he'd blow our 


minds.
             
There's a star

    
man waiting in

 the sky
            
He's told us n

      
ot to blow it
             
'Cause he know

              
s it's all wor


thwhile,

He told me,
          
   "Let the ch

             
ildren lose it

         
, let the chil

dren use it,
            
   Let all the

  
 children boog

ie."
