Video Killed The Radio Star

I heard you on the wireless back in '52
Lying awake it says they're tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

They took the credit for your second symphony
Free rentals by machines and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see

I met your children
What did you tell them

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart

And now we meet and I walk by the studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go

You were the first one
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We country wind we've gone too far

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
We country wind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
Put the blame on VTR

Ah ahh, the radio star
Ah ahh, the radio star

Video killed the radio star...
