[Verse 1]
It's 4 in the morning July of '69
Me and my sister
We crept down like shadows
They're bringing the moon right down to our sitting-room
Static and silence and a monochrome vision

[Chorus]
They're dancing around
Slow puppets silver ground
And the world was watching with joy
We hear a voice from above and it's history
And we stayed awake all night

[Verse 2]
And something is said and the whole room laughs aloud
Me and my sister
Looking on like shadows
The end of an age as we watched them walk in a glow
Lost in space, but I don't know where it is

[Chorus 2]
They're dancing around
Slow puppets silver ground
And the stars and stripes in the sand
We hear a voice from above and it's history
And we stayed awake all night
[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
They're dancing around
It sends a shiver down my spine
And I run to look in the sky and
I half expect to hear them asking to come down
(oh) Will they fly or will they fall?
To be excited by a long late night
