Imogen Heap - Xizi She Knows lyrics

Yī, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā
Èr, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā
Sān, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā
Sì, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā

We come to your shores over misty millennia
From hustlers to emperors
For power and pleasure
We carve through the cars
Dance around the Daily News
Cue in the grande ballabile
Even your ten-ton tone rings
Home for Marco Polo

(Slow down) From a thread of sky
(Slow down) To the warp and
Weft of your being
(Slow down) You're beautiful, graceful
Like no other pretty damn good as you are
(Slow down) Friend of mine
(Slow down) In a terrible hurry for change
(Slow down) As you unravel your
Marvels from evergreen gardens
Remember we loved you this way

Sān, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā
Sì, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā

To treasure it all, scroll out to see
In gold, fire, wood, clay, and water
Your structure and flow, adagio to allegro
With leaves to the tide
In full moon, plum blossom, we salute to you

(Slow down) From a thread of sky
(Slow down) To the warp and
Weft of your being
(Slow down) Dynamic and playful
You opened my eyes, yeah
You're pretty damn good as you are
(Slow down) Friend of mine
(Slow down) Could you go for progression
Not pace?
(Slow down) As you unravel your marvels
Don't lose them all on the way

Mantoshan, Mantoshan, Mantoshan, Mantoshan
Mantoshan
Mantoshan, Mantoshan, Mantoshan, Mantoshan
Mantoshan bā

(Slow down) From a thread of sky
(Slow down) To the warp and
Weft of your being
(Slow down) You're beautiful, graceful
Like no other pretty damn good as you are
(Slow down) Friend of mine
(Slow down) You're in a
Terrible hurry to change
(Slow down) Unravel your marvels
From evergreen gardens
Remember we loved you this way

Whoa, to the warp and weft of your being
You're beautiful, graceful, like no other
Pretty damn good as you are
Xizi, she knows that once it's gone
Then it's gone
Xizi, she knows that once it's gone
Then it's gone
Xizi, she knows that once it's gone
Then it's gone

Yī, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā
Yī, èr, sān, sì, wǔ, liù, qī, bā
