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
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
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the Milky Way tonight
(Chorus)
Under the Milky Way tonight
