It's 4 in the morning July in '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



They're dancing around

Slow puppets silver ground

And the world is watching with joy

We hear a voice from above

And it's history

And we stayed awake

All night



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



They're dancing around

Slow puppets silver ground

And the stars and the stripes in the sand

We hear a voice from above

And it's history

And we stayed awake

All night



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

Will they fly or will they fall?

To be excited

By a long late night
