Thompson Twins - The Gap lyrics
rate meWake up in a strange land, one of forty thieves And I see for the first time just what you believe I go down to the market where I can buy or sell And listen to the chanting and all the lies the wise ones tell They say (chorus) East is east, west is west Two diff'rent colors on the map We say break the line, chew the fat a keep moving out into the gap Beggars in the back streets, there for all the world to leave It's you that's begging for attention Well it's all the same to me And I won't ask permission, not from teachers or from kings Cause I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring But you say (REPEAT CHORUS) Hey! (East)...(West) (East)...(West) (East)...(West) (East)...(West) (East)...(West) (East)...(West) (REPEAT CHORUS) Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years? Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears? But there's no need to be so fightened of all the figures in the night Cause you share the same emotions and no one's wrong and no one's right But they say (REPEAT CHORUS x 3
