[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises mе I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remеmber who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again "Oh, no..."

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore, & Dave Gahan]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground "Oooooooooooooooh!"

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
"Check it out!"
"Alright, Martin!"

[Outro: Martin L. Gore]
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight
"Thank you"

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
