Stars above us Cars below us Out on the rooftop baby Stars above us Cars below us Nothing can touch us baby Just had to get out of there I'm tired of all of those faces Up here is out of sight Outside with the breeze on our faces Let's go up the stairway My band doing it their way Our sound's ruling all the airwaves Butterflies taking flight [chorus*2] (Sun sets) over the city (Won't you) come and catch it with me? (Follow me) right up the stairway Let's have some fun tonight [chorus*2] (La la la rooftops) (La la la rooftops) Stars above us (La la la rooftops) (La la la rooftops) [etc to fade]
