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
 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

 Ooh
 West
 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
