Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sounds of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the milky way tonight

Lower the curtain down on 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 its something quite peculiar,
Something that's shimmering and white.
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.

Under the milky way tonight
