Lyrics
Black night, no light
I've had all I can take
Our old snapshots
Make my lonely heart ache
It doesn't take a genius to know
You're never coming back
Chinese whispers
It makes no sense to me
All this talk talk
What's the fuss? I can't see
It doesn't take a genius to know
You're gone permanently
You glide in the room, dim all the lights
Lie back in my chair, you look up in my eyes
Perfect murder
You put a hole in my heart
Too late, no hope
It's falling apart
This whole thing, it's so bizarre
Maybe it's all a dream
Let's rewrite the script again
Cut to another scene
Chinese whispers
It makes no sense to me
All this talk talk
What's the fuss? I can't see
It doesn't take a genius to know
You're gone permanently
You glide in the room, dim all the lights
Lie back in my chair, you look up in my eyes
What's on your mind, you can't conceal
Your eyes take aim, your lips shoot cold steel
Perfect murder
You put a hole in my heart
Too late, no hope
It's falling apart
Chinese whispers
Chinese whispers
