Lyrics of Under the Milky Way by Sia
verse
Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination, oh
Under the Milky Way tonight
I lower the curtain down in Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation, ay
Under the Milky Way tonight
chorus
I wish I knew what you were lookin′ for
Might have known what you would find
verse
And there's something quite peculiar
Something that′s shimmerin' and white
Leads you here despite your destination, oh
Under the Milky Way tonight
(Under the Milky Way tonight)
chorus
I wish I knew what you were lookin' for
Might have known what you would find
I wish I knew what you were lookin′ for
I might have known what you would find
bridge
Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight
chorus
I wish I knew what you were lookin′ for
I might have known what you would find
I wish I knew what you were lookin' for
I might have known what you would find (the Milky Way tonight)
outro
Under the Milky Way tonight (ah)
(Oh, under the Milky Way tonight) under the Milky Way tonight (ah, ah, ah)
Under the Milky Way tonight (under the Milky Way tonight)
Under the Milky Way tonight (under the Milky Way tonight)
