Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of the 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

CHORUS
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
It  leads you here despite your destination
Under the milky way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
repeat chorus

Under the milky way tonight
Under the milky way tonight
Under the milky way tonight
