Walking on the Milky Way Songtext
von Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

When I was only seventeen
My head was full of brilliant dreams
My heart would call and I would gladly go
At twenty one the world was mine
And I was yours and you′re divine
And nothing else would matter to us so

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

Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the Milky Way
It was quite a day hey hey
Hey hey yeah
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say? Hey hey
Hey hey yeah


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

Man you should have seen us
On the way to Venus
Walking on the Milky Way
It was quite a day hey hey
Hey hey yeah
Walking on the big stuff
Acting like we're real tough
Baby we were on our way
So what do you say? Hey hey
Hey hey yeah
Hey hey

Walking on the Milky Way hey hey yeah


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

Oh man you should have seen us
We were on our way to Venus hey hey
Hey hey yeah
Man you should have seen us
We were on our way to Venus hey hey hey
Hey hey yeah
Man you should have seen us
We were on our way to Venus hey hey hey
Hey hey yeah
