Chinese Whispers
(c) Jon Horne 1991

In half an hour they're locking up the park
Be outside before they shut the gate
No more talking in the dark
Chinese whispers will seal your fate

What did you hear, echoing today?
Chinese whispers have sent you away

Keep your thoughts inside your head
With human mynah birds around
They hear every word you said
Chinese whispers make no sound

What did you hear, echoing today?
Chinese whispers have sent you away

I know nothing and that's now it's going to stay
Don't talk to me or they will put you away

Now I'm walking in the park
Six o'clock until they lock the gate
I hear talking in the dark
Then I whisper and seal your fate
