Melodies without a sound
Kissing you
Million miles up off the ground
It's what you do

Don't need no one to rescue me
'Cause you feel so good
Nothing sends me there the way
That you could, girl

Cruising, on a journey to your heart
Cruising, when you're making love with me

I want to be lost in your love
Night and day
And let the sight of every star
Light the way

Cruising on a journey to your heart
Cruising every secret little part
Cruising to eternal mysteries
Cruising when you're making love to me
Making love with me

Rockets are blasting off
Time is set free
The way
You're making love to me

Cruising to eternal mysteries
Cruising when you're making love to me
Making love with me

Keep driving
Keep driving
Keep driving
