Lyrics

[Verse 1] Manhattan or Dakar It makes no difference where you are It doesn't matter what you think Or if you smoke or if you drink [Chorus] You're a thread upon the loom When the spirit walks in the room [Verse 2] You could be naked, you could be armed You could be charming, you could be charmed You could be open, you could be closed Be one of us or one of those [Chorus] You're a thread upon the loom When the spirit walks in the room [Verse 3] On the march or on the run It matters not what you have done Nor what you'll do, nor what you'll say Wе play the role we'rе made to play [Chorus] We're but threads upon the loom When the spirit walks in the room [Violin Solo] [Verse 4] It can appear at any hour When it comes, it comes in power You may not walk, you may not see But you'll become what you can be [Chorus] You're a thread upon the loom When the spirit walks in the room We're but threads upon the loom When the spirit walks in the room
