Текст песни The Gap - Thompson Twins

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
There I can buy or sell
And listen to the chanting
And all the lies the wise ones tell

They say
East is east, west is west ooh
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
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

And you say
East is east, west is west ooh
Two diff'rent rhythms to the rap
We say break the line, chew the fat
Keep moving out into the gap

Hey

East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
Keep moving out into the gap

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 frightened
Of all the figures in the night
'Cause we share the same emotions
And no one's wrong and no one's right

'Cause they say
East is east, west is west ooh
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
Keep moving out into the gap

They say
East is east, west is west ooh
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
Keep moving out into the gap

They say
East is east, west is west ooh
Two diff'rent rhythms to the rap
We say break the line, chew the fat
Keep moving out into the gap
