We were victims of the night
The chemical, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and the fading lights
Oh we were bound to get together
Bound to get together
He took my arm
I don't know how it happened
He took my arm and he said:
I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a-oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
And now I understand the supernova scene
Oh-a-oh
Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh-a-oh
Shut up and dance with me
A backless dress and some beat up sneaks
My discothèque, Juliet, teenage dream
I felt in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
Bound to be together
She took my arm
I don't know how it happened
We took the floor and she said:
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-oh-oh-oh
Oh-a-oh-oh-oh
You are the radio star
Oh don't you dare look back (You are)
Just keep your eyes on me (the radio star)
I said you're holding back
He said shut up and dance with me
Oh don't you dare look back (Video killed)
Just keep you eyes on me (The radio star)
I said you're holding back (Video killed)
He said shut up and dance with me (The radio star)
This woman is my destiny
I said oh-a-oh
Shut up and dance with me
Oh don't you dare look back (You are)
Just keep your eyes on me (the radio star)
I said you're holding back
He said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
I said oh-a-oh
Shut up and dance with me
Oh-a-oh
Shut up and dance with me
Oh-a-oh
Shut up and dance with me
