Oh-a-aho oh
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
I met your children
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
Oh-a oh
And now I understand the problems you can see

We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
Video killed the radio star
We can't rewind we've gone to far
Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

In my mind and in my car
Oh-a oh
Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star
Oh-a-aho oh
We can't rewind we've gone to far
You are a radio star

Oh-a oh

...
(You are a radio star)
Oh-a oh
Video killed the radio star
They took the credit for your second symphony
Oh-a oh
Video killed the radio star
You were the first one

Oh-a oh

Rewritten by machine and new technology
Oh-a-a-a oh
Video killed the radio star

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
Pictures came and broke your heart

Oh-a oh
Oh-a oh
Put the blame on VTR
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
And you remember the jingles used to go

You are a radio star
What did you tell them?
(You are a radio star)
You were the last one
In my mind and in my car
