The Kinks - Close to the Wire lyrics

[The Kinks - Close to the Wire lyrics]

A hopeful adventure got missionary ways
Could start in the jungle feel this way

Search for an answer over land and over sea
All the mountains of promised opportunities

I cried out but you were lost
In a corporate position
So money's the solution
Curing all that ails the nation

But what about the hearts of man
The spiritual needs
I'm staring at the starlight
And I just can't quite believe that I'm

Lost in the fire so close to the wire
Got to survive so close to the wire

The soul needs attention
Like the body needs to breath


But banks want investment so who are we

Cultures are dying
But gold reserves are safe
Can't live in this jungle but can't escape

Whatever happened
To the dreams we shared together
A taste of wine
A moonlight song that lasts forever

Lost in the fire so close to the wire
Got to survive so close to the wire

Feel the expectation written in the ways
Each move of a man give away

You look good to me
Sat in your ministry position
An image for the masses
Making serious decisions
Talk about, sham about
For all the world to see
Your rhetoric's a quiz game
And a mystery to me

Lost in the fire so close to the wire
Got to survive so close to the wire

So close to the wire
