The Church - Under The Milky Way Lyrics




Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
+
Sound of their breath fades with the light
+
I think about the loveless fascination
+
Under the Milky Way tonight
+
Lower the curtain down in Memphis
+
Lower the curtain down all right
+
I got no time for private consultation
+
Under the Milky Way tonight
+
Wish I knew what you were looking for
+
Might have known what you would find
+
And it's something quite peculiar
+
Something that's shimmering and white
+
It leads you here despite your destination
+
Under the Milky Way tonight
+
Under the Milky Way tonight
+
