Songtexte Locomotion - Extended Mix - Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark

Locomotion

I cross every ocean

For the sake of locomotion

But I wouldn′t have a notion

How to save my soul

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

I cross 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 cross 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 stand up, I can't stand still

I know you wouldn′t like it if I told you how I feel

I just wanna say that it′s only common sense

But the words always fail me at my own expense

I'm staring at the window

Wonder where you are

Moving through the landscape

At a million miles an hour

I cross every ocean

For the sake of locomotion

But I wouldn′t have a notion

How to save my soul

I cross 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
