Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul,
I'm lost in transit in a (1)________________ city,
I can't come in from the cold,
I'm deep in action on a secret mission,
Contact's broken down,
Time drags by, I'm (2)__________ suspicion,
There's a (3)__________ on the telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well it sure is (4)________ in this (5)__________________ city,
Contact's never gonna show,
I've got a code which can't be broken,
My eyes never seem to close,
Well, I'm (6)________________ (7)________ in the silent city,

Tell me, (18)________ is (19)__________ on?

A Morning comes, (20)________ be moving on.
All night (21)________ my mind's (22)________ burning,
Makes me feel such a long, long way from home,

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a (23)________________ city
I can't (24)________ in from the cold
