Walking Through Heaven's Door
Phil Manzanera Lyrics

Along the wing you see the searchlight beam
As we fly, we see the beam of light illuminating our path.

Down below, traced freeway stream
Below us, the freeway and its streams are visible to our eye.

A field of precious stones illuminates the night
The glow of the city lights looks like a field of precious stones from above.

Heading for touchdown, looking for runway light
As we descend, we look for the guidance of the runway lights.

From in the sky the city's at its best
Seeing the city from above is the best view of all.

Down the hills to its ocean's rest
Descending from the hills provides a view of the ocean.

And as you watch the lightscape sit back, relax and dream
We sit back and relax, enjoying the beautiful view of the city at night and dream of the possibilities to come.

This is the future, this is tomorrow's scheme
The beautiful view of the city is just the beginning, as tomorrow's future holds more possibilities than we can imagine.

We're coming in, the runway flashes past
As we land, the view of the runway moves quickly past us.

This is it, now we're here at last
We have finally arrived.

We've tried to make this crossing so many times before
We have made this trip numerous times before with no success.

See that people walking through heaven's door
We observe people walking through what appears to be heaven's door.

We're finally here, it looks just fine
We have finally arrived, and everything looks great.

Let's stroll the streets, sidewalk sign
Let's take a walk and read the various signs along the sidewalk.

Stand and wait and watch the cars
Let's stand and watch the cars drive by.

As they smoke on, go by so fast
The cars move quickly as they drive by, leaving a trail of fumes behind.

They look just fine, we'll cross at last
The cars look good, so we will cross the street.

The headlights flicker in our faces
The headlights of the cars shine in our faces as we cross the street.

Try to eat some fetid meat
We attempt to eat some spoiled meat.

Yours tastes just fine, same as mine
Despite the meat being spoiled, it tastes good to both of us.

If you can pay, it happens here
If you have enough money, anything can happen here.

Do what you say, will be tonight's career
What you say will dictate your career for the night.

While guarantee hot company
We are guaranteed to be in the company of attractive individuals.

The red light flickers in their faces
The red light from the district's establishments casts a flickering glow on their faces.

Roll up your sleeve, pass it round
Let's share what we have by rolling up our sleeves and passing it around.

It's what you seek, dope in town
Whatever you are seeking can be found in this district.

Feels just fine to be with you
Being with you in this moment is all that matters.

Your place or mine, I'll show you what to do
We have the choice of going to your place or mine, and I will show you what to do.

And in the nights, you'll come on through
In future nights, we will continue to enjoy the moments we share.

Walking through heaven's door
As we walk through this lively district, it feels like we are walking through heaven's door.

This is our dream
This is what we always hoped for.

Fulfilled at last
Our dream has finally come true.

Grace with thee
We are grateful for this moment and this experience.

Forget the past
It's time to forget the past and focus on the present.
