Starman Lyrics
Hey la la...Hey la la...
Didn't know what time it was, and the lights were low - ow - ow
I leaned back on my radio - o - o
Some cat was laying down some rock 'n' roll, "lotta soul", he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fa - a - ade,
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of pha - a - ase
That weren't no D.J., that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it, 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it, let the children use it
Let all the children play
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you - ou - ou
Hey, that's far out, so you heard tim too - oo - oo
Switch on the T.V., we may pick him on channel two
Look out your window, I can see his ligh - igh - ight
If we can sparkle he may land tonigh - igh - ight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it, 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it, let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it, 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile, he told me
Let the children lose it, let the children use it
Let all the children play, let the children learn
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

does this song come out on any cds?
This is a cover of a David Bowie song. It's a great song but it doesn't really belong listed under Dar (as much as I love her).
This is a great sci-fi song and so not like Dar's usual style (probably since it's a cover). This is what it says at the beginning of the song:
Echo, echo, echo, echo..
It’s nine minutes till the new millennium Earth children have successfully united In a partnership for a drug-free planet Notably with no socio-political or cultural replacement for the drugs they’ve forsaken
Meanwhile on the 34th floor of Happiness Limited, Barton Buck kicks back two xanax With some scotch that he was going to give his doorman He puts in a call to a newly acquired Home thousand-watt radio station He has a ticket giveaway for a new multiplex At a suburban mall There’s no answer
It’s eight minutes, forty seconds to the new millennium And Happiness Limited has lost contact with the youth of the world
Yeah that's it...what's the bit she says at the beginning about or referring to???
