I heard you on my wireless back in '52.
  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 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 to far
  Oh-a-aho oh,
  Oh-a-aho 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
  To far!
  Oh-a-aho oh,
  Oh-a-aho oh
  
  Alright!
  
  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, so put all the blame on VCR.
  
  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 that radio star, yes it did.
