Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
"La Femme Accident"


Crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion
Crossing every ocean for the sake of Locomotion

Across every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
But I wouldnÂ¡ÂЇt have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I canÂ¡ÂЇt say no to you

I canÂ¡ÂЇt say no I canÂ¡ÂЇt say yes
I canÂ¡ÂЇt even write down my own address
I canÂ¡ÂЇt touch Heaven itÂ¡ÂЇs a little too far
ItÂ¡ÂЇs the only way to travel
Got dreaming on a par
IÂ¡ÂЇm staring through the window
Wondering where you are
Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

Across every nation
From the harbour to the station
ItÂ¡ÂЇs a form of inspiration
ItÂ¡ÂЇs a power to the state
They run down the railways
Sail across the seaways
Fly through the airways
But they canÂ¡ÂЇt say no
To you

I canÂ¡ÂЇt stand up I canÂ¡ÂЇt stand still
I know you wouldnÂ¡ÂЇt like it if I told you how I feel
I just want to say that itÂ¡ÂЇs only common sense
But the words always fail me at my own expense
IÂ¡ÂЇm staring out the window
Wonder where you are
Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour

Across every ocean
For the sake of Locomotion
But I wouldnÂ¡ÂЇt have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I canÂ¡ÂЇt say no to you
