Robyn Hitchcock - Chinese Bones lyrics

Watching Romeo dissolve I was
Tempted to join him
By the mirror of the lake
Where the statues unfurled
I had never seen a man
So abuse his reflection
As the light shines through
Your Chinese bones

Watching Juliet implode I would
Hasten toward her but around her feet I saw
That her serpent was curled
And her eyeballs had rolled up
So her pupils had vanished
And the light shines through
Your Chinese bones
As the light shines through
Your Chinese bones
I met an interesting dwarf and
I told him a story
As he walked towards the east


Then the shadow was right
Something Shakespeare never said was "You've
Got to be kidding"
As the light shines through
Your Chinese bones
As the light shines through
Your Chinese bones

The line between us is so thin
I might as well be you
And everywhere I've ever been I
Know you're going to

Chinese bones chinese bones
