Close To The Wire Lyrics - Kinks

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 

Photos 

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
