There's a (1)________________ in my soul,
I'm lost in (2)______________ in a lonesome city,
I can't come in from the cold,
I'm deep in action on a secret mission,
Contact's broken down,
Time (3)__________ by, I'm above suspicion,
There's a voice on the telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well it sure is dark in this (4)__________________ city,
Contact's never gonna show,

Shadows falling down,
I'm disconnected but I don't (5)________ pity,
The night's gonna burn on slow.

Now ain't it funny that I feel like Philby,

I've got my plans and I must move quickly,
There's a knock upon the door,
Still in transit and I'm close to danger,

A Morning comes, must be moving on.
All night long my mind's been burning,
Makes me feel such a long, long way from home,
Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a (8)________________ in my soul
I'm lost in (9)______________ in a lonesome city
I can't come in from the cold
