China Girl lyrics

I could escape this feeling with my China girl

I feel a wreck without my little China girl

I hear her heart beating loud as thunder

Saw the stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China girl

Wake up in the morning - where's my little China girl?

I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder

Saw the stars crashing down

I'm feelin' tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

When I look at my China girl

I could pretend that nothing really meant too much

When I look at my China girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow

Visions of swastikas 1 in my head

Plans for everyone

It's in the white of my eyes

My little China girl, you shouldn't mess with me

I'll ruin everything you are

You know,

I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue

I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited

My little China girl says:

"Oh baby, just you shut your mouth"

She says: "Shhhhh...!"
