Lyrics


1. CHINA GIRL

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 they stars crashing.

I'm a mess
without my little China girl
Wake up mornings where's my little China girl
I hear her heart's beating
Loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down.

I feel a-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 swasticas 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
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you 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 … sh-sh-shhh.


2. SHAKE IT (RE-MIX)

I feel like a sail-boat
Adrift on the sea
It's a brand new day
So when you gonna phone me.

I could take you to heaven
I could spin you to hell
But I'll take you to New York
It's the place that I know well.

Sitting on a flagstone talking to a faceless girl
Wondering what to say but my eyes do the talking so well.

I duck and I sway, What's my line
Shoot at a full moon, What's my line
What's my line, Shake it baby.

Cause love is the answer
Love's talking to me
I'd scream and I'll fight for you
You're better than money.

We're the kind of people
Who can shake it
If we're feeling blue
When I'm feeling disconnected well I sure know what to do
Shake it baby.
