Lyrics
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…
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…
