The Misunderstanding - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys

Well we know where the true one lies

And you cant say its our imagination

Just because we cannot find the proof

Weve shared this thought for some considerable time

Its increasingly unlike the rest

For as we get older weve become less aware

Security lies at the heart of our lives

Attaching ourselves to ourselves

Were extinguished but were 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 theres compassion in your hearts

Now that youve seen enough

Weve given of our best

For gods 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 Ill find my final cue

Well sneak out the back door and close it
