Dancing on Rooftops

Lying awake in the middle of the night My mind won't go to sleep Grand ideas and fantasies Swirling in my head and keeping me awake How am I supposed to sleep When the stars outside beckon me I leap from my bed, run up the stairs Step outside and breathe the cold, crisp air Dancing on rooftops, toeing the edge And I wonder what it would be like to skydive instead Galaxies swirl above me And the earth is far below Leaping off rooftops, finally I'm free And there's nothing anyone could do to try and stop me I look down at the ground far below Then reach up to the stars and fly The next day I can't concentrate on anything My mind keeps reliving my frolic with the stars Look up and dance with us, they seem to say And I can't wait for dusk at the end of the day How am I supposed to sleep When the stars outside beckon me I leap from my bed, run up the stairs Step outside and breathe the cold, crisp air Dancing on rooftops, toeing the edge And I wonder what it would be like to skydive instead Galaxies swirl above me And the earth is far below Leaping off rooftops, finally I'm free And there's nothing anyone could do to try and stop me I look down at the ground far below Then reach up to the stars and fly And fly Oh, and fly Oh, and fly Oh ah Dancing on rooftops, toeing the edge And I wonder what it would be like to skydive instead Galaxies swirl above me And the earth is far below Leaping off rooftops, finally I'm free And there's nothing anyone could do to try and stop me I look down at the ground far below Then reach up to the stars and fly
