A hopeful adventure
|
Got missionary ways
|
Could start in the jungle
|
Feel this way
|
Search for an answer
|
Over land and over sea
|
All the mountains
|
Of promised opportunities
|
|
I cried out but you were lost
|
In a corporate position
|
So money's the solution
|
Curing all that ails the nation
|
But what about the hearts of man
|
The spiritual needs
|
I'm staring at the starlight
|
And I just can't quite believe
|
That I'm
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Lost in the fire
|
So close to the wire
|
Got to survive
|
So close to the wire
|
|
The soul needs attention
|
Like the body needs to breath
|
But banks want investment
|
So who are we
|
Cultures are dying
|
But gold reserves are safe
|
Can't live in this jungle
|
But can't escape
|
|
Whatever happened
|
To the dreams we shared together
|
A taste of wine
|
A moonlight song that lasts forever
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Feel the expectation
|
Written in the ways
|
Each move of a man give away
|
|
You look good to me
|
Sat in your ministry position
|
An image for the masses
|
Making serious decisions
|
Talk about, sham about
|
For all the world to see
|
Your rhetoric's a quiz game
|
And a mystery to me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
So close to the wire
|
|
-----------------
|
Close To The Wire
|
| The Kinks |
