Foi o hit grande que David Bowie teve depois de Space Oddity.
A letra fala de Ziggy Stardust trazendo uma mensagem de esperança para os jovens da terra no rádio. A história é contada por um dos jovens que escuta Ziggy.
David Bowie cantou e tocou violão. Mick Ronson tocou guitarra elétrica, mellotron e fez backing vocals. Trevor Bolder tocou baixo e Mick Woodmansey tocou bateria.
A letra:
Didn't
know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my
radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, "Lotta
soul, " he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came
back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ, 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 boogie
I
had to phone someone, so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out, so
you heard him, too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on Channel
Two
Look
out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may
land tonight
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
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
