lyrics

There’s a star swing in an acrobat sky
My friends who have been there know just what it’s like
One day soon we’ll be waiting in line
To hold on to the ropes and swing into the night

I will run to the moon-kissed mountain
And dip my hair in the hideaway fountain so free

There’s a star swing in an infinite sky
If you like zero gravity, you’ll enjoy the ride
Through the green chamber door, past a courtyard of light
Let go of the railing and kick your feet high

I will run to the moon-kissed mountain
And rinse my hair in the fringe of a fountain so free
I will run to the moon-kissed mountain
And dip my hands in the fringe of a fountain so free

On that star swing in the acrobat sky
We take off our sandals and wait for the sign
The rooftops are glowing in the starlight tonight
When the doorman gives signal, just let go and glide

I will run to the moon-kissed mountain
And rinse my hair in the fringe of a fountain so free
I will run to the moon-kissed mountain
And dip my hair in the fringe of a fountain so free

And dip my hair in the slideaway fountain so free
And drink from the magical fountain...

On that star swing in an acrobat sky
A feeling of weightlessness, we swing through the night
