Manoevres in the Dark - Maid of New Orleans Lyrics

Across every ocean for the sake of locomotion

But I wouldn't have a notion
how to save my soul.
I walk down the sidewalk
run down the broadwalk

Stop and make small talk but I can't say no to you.
I can't say no
I can't say yes

I can't even write down my own address.
I can't touch heaven
it's a little too far

It's the only way to travel
got dreaming on a parr.
I'm staring through the window
wonder where you are

Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour.
Across every nation
from the harbour to the station

It's a source of inspiration
it's a power to the state.
They run down the railways
sail across the seaways

Fly through the airways
but they can't say no to you.
I can't stand up
I can't stand still

I know you wouldn't like it
if I told you how I feel.
Ijust want to say that it's only common sense

But the words always fail me at my own expense.
I'm staring out the window
wonder where you are

Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour.
Across every ocean
for the sake of locomotion
. . .
Across every ocean
for the sake of locomotion
. . .
