Lyrics
0:38It's midnight
0:40And our silver tongued obsessions come at us out of the dark
0:48Scrambling to be recognised before tearing themselves apart
1:18It's zen and the art of Bollywood
1:23Heroes turning on a spit
1:28The lovers unable to resolve a pre historic b**ch
1:58We don't know the half of it
2:02Clever is as clever does
2:07His drawn lights sparkling on a merry go round
2:12Hypnotising everyone on it
2:17In zen and the art of forgery we're losing control of light
2:27De Lorian Picasso Mondre and El Greco some one's gonna pay the price
2:41If I didn't know you better than that
2:50I'd never let you outta my sight
2:57Where is the art of sorcery
3:02We wanna be fooled again
3:07Staggered by deception charmed into submission
3:12Helpless as a deck of cards
3:17It's now the art of reality
3:22Calling a spade a spade
3:27Facing the obvious
3:30A monkey and his grinder
3:33But on a different plain
3:41I see you clearly from day to day
3:49As clearly as I see tonite
3:57Keep talking said the slow eyed Mandarin
4:03I've got nothing to say
4:08Meet me on the staircase on your way down
4:13We'll see if there's been a mistake
4:18In zen and the art of algebra
4:23There is no value for time
4:28Whatever thrives inside the dark
4:33Decays on the outside
It's midnight And our silver tongued obsessions come at us out of the dark Scrambling to be recognised before tearing themselves apart It's zen and the art of Bollywood Heroes turning on a spit The lovers unable to resolve a pre historic b**ch We don't know the half of it Clever is as clever does His drawn lights sparkling on a merry go round Hypnotising everyone on it In zen and the art of forgery we're losing control of light De Lorian Picasso Mondre and El Greco some one's gonna pay the price If I didn't know you better than that I'd never let you outta my sight Where is the art of sorcery We wanna be fooled again Staggered by deception charmed into submission Helpless as a deck of cards It's now the art of reality Calling a spade a spade Facing the obvious A monkey and his grinder But on a different plain I see you clearly from day to day As clearly as I see tonite Keep talking said the slow eyed Mandarin I've got nothing to say Meet me on the staircase on your way down We'll see if there's been a mistake In zen and the art of algebra There is no value for time Whatever thrives inside the dark Decays on the outside
