Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - The Misunderstanding lyrics

Well we know where the true one lies And you can't say it's our imagination Just because we cannot find the proof We've shared this thought for some considerable time It's increasingly unlike the rest For as we get older we've become less aware Security lies at the heart of our lives Attaching ourselves to ourselves We're extinguished but we're still alive Misunderstood but our intention is good We were not questioned on our replies It does you no good Though you think that it should And it would given half a chance If there's compa**ion in your hearts Now that you've seen enough We've given of our best For God's sake you know Please please please please please please please please can we go home Is this the time or place to say goodbye Regardless I'll find my final cue We'll sneak out the back door and close it
