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
