Starlight

The serenade from the barking dogs

They got news to tell that they’re trying to get across

A little rain in the afternoon

Everything’s in place but the screws have gone undone

In the ground that hold the houses down

Pulling up through the London sky

Like a Zeppelin over town

Send me up to the stars and planets

As I beam the messages back to the radio

In the darkness it holds on to me like a baby bear

Clinging on to its mama

And I search for reflections

But I’m already gone

I just wanted to control something

So I turned the TV on

Starlight coming down

From a place we can never get to

Streets of another town

Such a long way from where we’re standing now

So let’s dance to the last beat

Twist away, twist away

While we still can

Starlight coming down

Come and take us to where we’re dreaming of

Coming down through the clouds again

And the world just went kind of inside out

They reach out to feel something real

Like an octopus with every arm around

Some girl in a bar

And it’s hard to hold it down

Sail into the altitude

We are long way from the ground

Starlight coming down

From a place we can never get to

Streets of another town

Such a long way from where we’re standing now

So let’s dance to the last beat

Twist away, twist away

While we still can

Starlight coming down

Come and take us to where we’re dreaming of

Let’s dance to the last beat

Twist away, twist away

While we still can

Starlight coming down

Come and take us to where we’re dreaming of
