John Cale, Bob Neuwirth - Old China lyrics
[John Cale, Bob Neuwirth - Old China lyrics]
Someone screams about abuse of power, so lonely there was nothing left to say, hoping for a speaking revolution, and wishing that the crimes would go away
Cross your heart and hope to die, it'll happen in the blinking of an eye
Cross your heart and hope to die, it'll happen in the blinking of an eye
Dealing with the mask of your deception, I threw that other chance away today
I'd been asking for a speedy resolution, hoping other signs would go away
Since sitting here, talking 'bout old china, and how old ladies hair will go to grey, I'd been praying for a speedy resolution, expecting that the time will slip away
Cross your heart and hope to die, it'll happen in the blinking of an eye
Cross your heart and hope to die, it'll happen in the blinking of an eye
