"Sleep-Walking" lyrics - WIRE

WIRE
"Sleep-Walking"
(Colin Newman / Wire)

We're at a tipping point
The arguments may lead
To less cohesion
A mere collection of parts

Sleepwalking to separation
Who'd give the perpetrators
A second chance
If reason could prevail

[Chorus:]
The narrowest vision
Often has the widest appeal
A lack of decision
Leaves us open for a steal
Left out, abandoned
We're less than ideal

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Whose rights to shout the loudest?
Should bully tactics triumph
When no one cares
And all stand idly by

[Chorus 2x]

[Instrumental]
