The Gap
|
Wake 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 street, 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
|
They 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?
|
And there's no need to be so fightened of all the figures in the night
|
Cause we share the same emotions and no one's wrong and no one's right
|
They say
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS x 3)
