Lyrics
1:12It's midnight
1:15And our silver tongued obsessions
1:18Come at us out of the dark
1:23Scrambling to be recognised
1:27Before tearing themselves apart
1:33It's zen and the art of bollywood
1:38Heroes turning on a spit
1:44The lovers unable to resolve
1:49A pre historic b**ch
2:05We don't know
2:07The half of it
2:10Clever is as clever does
2:15His drawn lights sparkling on a merry go round
2:20Hypnotising everyone on it
2:25In zen and the art of forgery
2:30We're losing control of light
2:35Delorian picasso
2:38Mondre and el greco
2:41Some one's gonna pay the price
2:56If I didn't know you
2:59Better than that
3:01I'd never let you outta my sight
3:07Where is the art of sorcery
3:12We wanna be fooled again
3:17Staggered by deception
3:20Charmed into submission
3:22Helpless as a deck of cards
3:27It's now the art of reality
3:33Calling a spade a spade
3:38Facing the obvious
3:40A monkey and his grinder
3:43But on a different plain
3:48I see you clearly from day to day
3:53As clearly as I see tonite
4:03Keep talking
4:06Said the slow eyed mandarin
4:09I've got nothing to say
4:14Meet me on the staircase on your way down
4:19We'll see if there's been a mistake
4:24In zen and the art of algebra
4:29There is no value for time
4:34Whatever thrives inside the dark
4:39Decays 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 Delorian 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
