The northern star looks on
this crescent moon tonight.
As she courts this town,
the clocktower strikes.
Dance with me, my star.
We'll sway the autumn sky.
Our shadows pirouette
on this tango tonight.
Chorus:
On this tango tonight,
we'll kick the shutters wide.
we'll smash our glasses down,
the jealous night will cry.
Dance with me, my star.
We'll sway the autumn sky.
So soon we'll disappear
as Houdini in his prime.
We'll sweep the rooftops clear
of all the sun's bright glare.
We'll toss our hats aside
and climb those spiral stairs.
Straight up to the top,
our destiny the moon.
We'll make love into may
and climb back down in June.
Repeat Chorus:
We'll meet again, my star,
at the crescent moon.
As she courts this town,
she'll rise again so soon.
I'll meet you at the top,
so dizzy from the height.
Then you'll know we danced
on this tango tonight.
Repeat Chorus:
The northern star looks on
this crescent moon tonight.
As she courts this town,
the clocktower strikes...
