Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - The Misunderstanding lyrics

well we go at it through our lives

and you can't say it's our imagination

just because we cannot find the proof

we stare at the start 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 are extinguished but we're still alive

misunderstood but our intention is good

we will not question on our advice

it does you no good

though you think that it should

and it would given half a chance

if there's compassion in your hearts

now that you've seen enough

we've given all of our best

for god's sake enough

please please please please please please please we're standing alone

this is the time of let me say goodbye

regardless I'll find my final truth

we'll sneak out the back door and close it.
