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 

Chorus: 
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 

Chorus 

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 

Chorus 

So close to the wire
