Cass McCombs - In a Chinese Alley lyrics
[Cass McCombs - In a Chinese Alley lyrics]
In a Chinese alley in February
I found a frozen girl naked under ice
In a Chinese alley in February
You can find all sorts of things
Like a box inside a box inside another box
Dry-cleaner window
Covered in a film of white chemical salt
Black exhaust
Brigid straddled her space heater
On her leg
A handmade tattoo of a straight line
She tells me not to belabor too long
While the cold gets me hard as a statue
She hanged by a tune above the organ
"A tune for we have nothing else"
Singing sweet mediterranean
While her universe went missing
You got to make your own music
From inside a Chinese box
And we sipped on the fallow laughter
Of green tea
Nobody staying too long
There at the crossroads drone taxis
Pointed in the direction of a bridge to evil
Goodnight love love goodnight
Goodnight love love goodnight
I found a frozen girl naked under ice
In a Chinese alley in February
You can find all sorts of things
Like a box inside a box inside another box
Dry-cleaner window
Covered in a film of white chemical salt
Black exhaust
Brigid straddled her space heater
On her leg
A handmade tattoo of a straight line
She tells me not to belabor too long
While the cold gets me hard as a statue
She hanged by a tune above the organ
"A tune for we have nothing else"
Singing sweet mediterranean
While her universe went missing
You got to make your own music
From inside a Chinese box
And we sipped on the fallow laughter
Of green tea
Nobody staying too long
There at the crossroads drone taxis
Pointed in the direction of a bridge to evil
Goodnight love love goodnight
Goodnight love love goodnight
