We are marching on the midnight maps

We are looking for a perfect world

Anywhere in the universe

Anywhere they'll take my cash

Anywhere the wind is outside (outside)

I’m leaving cars behind me

We'll be walking to the perfect world

It could be anywhere, any way from here

Anywhere the wind is outside

I know what's good for you

I have my reasons

I draw these plans for you

Pick ’em up and read them

I know what's good for you

I have my reasons

I draw these plans for you

Pick 'em up and read them

I'm leaving clothes there on the midnight beach

They wouldn't be in perfect style

Anywhere on a rocky coast

Anywhere we land intact

Anywhere the sea's at high tide (high tide)

I'm putting markers on the midnight map

I should be searching from door to door now

Anywhere in the neighbourhood

Anywhere we already looked

Maybe a little bit uptown

Why let your heart bleed?

Why suffer soul strain?

Why lose your sleep over things such as these?

Why let your heart bleed?

Why suffer soul strain?

Why lose your sleep over things such as these?

I know what's good for you

I have my reasons

I draw these plans for you

Pick ’em up and read them

I know what’s good for you

I have my reasons

I draw these plans for you

Pick 'em up and read them

We are marching on the midnight map

It could be anywhere, any way from here

Anywhere the wind is outside

I’m putting markers on the midnight map

Anywhere in the neighbourhood

Anywhere we already looked

Why let your heart bleed?

Why suffer soul strain?

Why lose your sleep over things such as these?

I know what's good for you...
