Chinese Whispers

A city street

Of paper houses

A price is paid

For information

It's too late

Your fate is sealed

And there's nothing you can do

You can't hide in the shadows

There'll be someone playing

Chinese whispers

Spy versus spy

Chinese whispers black and white lies

There are two sides

To every story

But who decides

Which one is safer?

You can't see

Behind closed doors

So who do you believe…

When you're trapped in the shadows

There'll be someone playing

Zoom lenses seek sensation

Money talks

Under investigation

Don't dance with a stranger

The power lies

In words and pictures

To twist the truth

And shape the future

Suddenly…your time runs out

And there's nothing you can do

As you smile for the camera

There'll be someone playing

Chinese whispers…
