[Verse 1: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] I heard you on the wireless back in '52 Lying awake, intently tuning in on you If I was young, it didn't stop you coming through Oh-a oh-a They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine on new technology And now I understand the problems you could see [Pre-Chorus: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] Oh-a oh-a I met your children Oh-a oh-a What did you tell them? [Chorus: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] Video killed the radio star Video killed the radio star Pictures came and broke your heart Oh-a-a-a-oh [Verse 2: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] And now we meet in an abandoned studio (Oh-a) We hear the playback and it seems so long ago (Oh-oh-oh-oh-a) And you remember the jingles used to go [Pre-Chorus: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] Oh-a oh-a You were the first one Oh-a oh-a You were the last one [Chorus: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] 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 Oh-a-a-a-oh Oh-a-a-a-oh [Chorus: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] 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 the blame on VCR [Outro: Trevor Horn, Debi Doss & Linda Jardim] You are a radio star You are a radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star (A, a radio star) (A radio star) Video killed the radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star (A, a radio star) (A radio star) Video killed the radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star (A, a radio star) (A radio star) Video killed the radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star (A, a radio star) (A radio star) Video killed the radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star (A, a radio star) (A radio star) Video killed the radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star (A, a radio star) (A radio star) Video killed the radio star (You are) Video killed the radio star
