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 on 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 too far Pictures came and broke your heart Put down the blame on VCR
Oh, 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 Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star
