💬 Thompson Twins

A keep moving out into the gap

And I see for the first time just what you believe

And I won't ask permission, not from teachers or from kings

And listen to the chanting and all the lies the wise ones tell

Beggars in the back street, there for all the world to leave

But there's no need to be so frightened of all the figures in the night

Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?

Cause I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring

Cause they say

Cause we share the same emotions and no one's wrong and no one's right

Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears?

East is east, west is west

I go down to the market where I can buy or sell

It's you that's begging for attention

They say

Two diff'rent colors on the map

Two diff'rent rhythms to the rap

Wake up in a strange land, one of forty thieves

We say break the line, chew the fat

Well it's all the same to me
