Lyrics
burning, yearning, churning
nothing seems to matter anymore
'cause when you're all geared up
you're ten feet tall
do you fly this way
'cause you're looking for somewhere to land
do you hide this way
'cause you don't know where to stand
tinker tailor soldier spy
can't even look yourself in the eye
tinker tailor soldier thief
lie all you want it don't matter to me
nothing seems to matter any more
as long as your pocket's fat
and you can score
in the morning
when the sun kisses your eyes
you cant remember where you left your disguise
tinker tailor soldier spy
can't even look yourself in the eye
tinker tailor soldier thief
lie all you want it don't matter to me
because
nothing seems to matter any more
trip the light fantastic just one more
the brightest nights
are the ones that leave you blind
stuck in a monkey trap with a monkey mind
time to move on
feel the suns warm
it's a new dawn
get your shoes on
it's been too long
on and on and on
get your get-gone
time to move
nothing seems to matter any more
suffering tender bruised confused and sore
day upon day push play and then rewind
stuck in the monkey trap with the monkey mind
tinker tailor soldier spy
can't even look yourself in the eye
tinker tailor soldier thief
lie all you want it don't matter to me
tinker tailor soldier spy
can't even look yourself in the eye
tinker tailor soldier thief
lie all you want it don't matter to me
with my heart in two minds
it's too hard to define
the line..
the mundane
from the divine
