Walking on the moon
The Police (Bass) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play
Keep it up, keep it up
The Police's song "Walking on the Moon" is a dreamy and introspective song that features a groovy reggae beat and catchy chorus. The lyrics themselves are about the sensation of walking on the moon, with metaphors of giant steps, weightlessness, and the notion that walking could become eternal. In the first verse, the lyrics touch on the fear of breaking legs while walking on the moon, and the idea that two people could live together and walk forever on the lunar surface.
The second verse focuses more on the actual walking aspect and the feeling of being weightless. The singer notes that their feet hardly make any sound as they walk on the moon's surface, and the lyrics capture the sense of almost gliding across the space rock. The final verse touches on the idea that some may feel they're wishing their days away while others may believe in the promise of another day to come. The song concludes with the upbeat repetition of the chorus, urging the listener to keep moving and "keep it up."
Overall, the song's lyrics are open to interpretation, as they're delivered in a laid-back, seemingly stream-of-consciousness style. However, they also convey a sense of wonder and the desire for something more. The Police's hit song is a timeless classic, evoking images of distant planets and endless possibility.

Yeah I was into these guys, and as a kid, on a couple of occasions, I swore I saw that drummer maestro on the streets.
But I could've been right innit
