Chinese Whispers Lyrics by YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA

SERVICE

1983

[Verse 1]
Black light, no light
I've have had all I can take
Our old snapshots
Make my lonely heart ache
It's doesn't take a genius to know
You're never coming back
[Chorus 1]
Chinese whispers
It makes no sense to me
All this talk, talk
What's the fuss? I can't see
It doesn't take a genius to know
You're gone permanently
You glide in the room, dim all the lights
Lie back in my chair, you look up in my eyes
[Chorus 2]
Perfect murder
You put a hole in my heart
Too late, no hope
It's falling apart
[Bridge]
This whole thing is so bizarre
Maybe it's all a dream
Let's rewrite the script again
Cut to another scene
[Chorus 1]
Chinese whispers
It makes no sense to me
All this talk, talk
What's the fuss? I can't see
It doesn't take a genius to know
You're gone permanently
You glide in the room, dim all the lights
Lie back in my chair, you look up in my eyes
What's on your mind, I can't conceal
Your eyes take aim, your lips shoot cold steel
[Chorus 2]
Perfect murder
You put a hole in my heart
Too late, no hope
It's falling apart
