WALKING ON THE MILKY WAY
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark


When I was only 17
My head was full of brilliant dreams
My heart would call and I would gladly go

At 21 the world was mine
And I was yours and your divine
And nothing else would matter to a soul

I don't believe in destiny
I don't believe in love
I don't believe that anything will ever be enough

(Chorus)

Oh, man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the Milky Way
It was quite a day
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what you say

As time goes by reality
Destroys your hope and dignity
There's nothing left but shadows on the wall

But just remember who you are
And where you've been you've come so far
And never ever let them see you fall

I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in truth
I don't believe that anything can recreate your youth

Chorus

Bridge

Walking on the Milky Way

Chorus (repeat twice)
