Ultravox Lyrics of the The Thin Wall track

The sound is on the visions move

The image dance starts once again

They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation

Just living lines from books we've read

With atmospheres of days gone by

With paper smiles

The screenplay calls a message for the nation



Chorus:



And those who sneer will fade and die

And those who laugh will surely fall

And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall

The thin wall

Thin wall



Grey men who speak of victory

Shed light upon their stolen life

They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music

To step in time and play the part

With velvet voices smooth and cold

Their power games a game no more

And long the chance to use it



(Chorus)



And those who dance will spin and turn

And those who wait will wait no more

And those talk will hear the word

And those who sneer will fade and die

And those who laugh will surely fall

And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall

The thin wall

Thin wall



The thin wall (Repeat 3 times)



And those who dance

The thin wall

And those who talk

The thin wall

And those who sneer

The thin wall

And those who laugh

The thin wall

And those who know

The thin wall

And those who dance

The thin wall

And those who wait

The thin wall

And those who talk

(Fade)
