Locomotion - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

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 boardwalk

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 par

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 form 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

I just 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

Crossing every ocean

For the sake of locomotion
