monochrome

 

(it) was 4 in the morning -- july in '69
me & my sister, we crept down like shadows
they're bringing the moon right down to our sitting room
static & silence in a monochrome vision

they're dancing around
slow puppets, silver ground
& the world was watching with joy
we hear a voice from above & it's history
& we stayed awake all night

there's something sad in the whole room love's allowed (?)
me & my sister, looking on like shadows
(?) angels
we watch them walk in a glow, lost in space
but i don't know where it is

they're dancing around
slow puppets, silver ground
& the stars & stripes in the sand
we hear a voice from the dark & it's history
& we stayed awake all night

they're dancing around
it sends a shiver down my spine
& i run to look in the sky
& i half-expect to hear them asking to come down
oh, will they fly or will they fall?
to be excited by one late night
