Wake up in a strange landone 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 sellAnd I listen to the chanting and all the lies that wise ones tell.They say: East is East - West is WestTwo different colours on the map.We say: Break the linechew the fatkeep moving out into the gap.Beggars in the backstreetsthere for all the world to leaveIt's you that's begging for attentionwellit's all the same to me.And I won't ask permission not from teachers or from kings'cos I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring.They say: East is East - West is WestTwo different rhythms on the map. . . .East is East - West is WestTwo different colours on the map. . . .Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears?No need to be so frightened of all the figures in the night'cos we shared the same emotions and no-one's wrong and no-one's right.They say: East is East - West is WestTwo different colours on the map. . . .They say: East is East - West is West. . .They say: East is East - West is WestTwo different rhythms on the map. . . .
