Dancing Star

Amalfi
Blue skies, blue sea
It’s a long way from Siberia
How did you get here?

Jumped the barrier at Orly Airport
Claimed political asylum there
Took all the KGB boys by surprise
I think they thought that you would never dare
But you knew you had to take a risk
You broke the rules over and over again
A fiery talent with a reputation
A trouble-maker among sombre men

Dancing star
That’s what you are
Came so far
You’re a dancing star
Dancing star
More power than a tsar
Yes you are
You’re a dancing star

When the streets of London sang with pop stars Well the truth is that they always do
In the 60s you could feel the freedom
and the brightest star in town was you
Always a scandal and a real heart-breaker
Boys and girls both threw themselves at you

Dancing star
That’s how bright you shine...
Dancing star
...when all your stars align
Dancing star
More power than a tsar
Yes you are
You’re a dancing star

Dancing star
Dancing star
Dancing star
Yes you are
You’re a dancing star

Paris
New York
Copenhagen
Vienna
San Francisco
St Petersburg
The world wanted you
How bright you shone
and still shine now
although you’ve gone

Dancing star
That’s what you are
Came so far
You’re a dancing star
Dancing star
More power than a tsar
Yes you are
You’re a dancing star
