Vangelis : China
Lyrics
1. CHUNG KUO
Drifting on the spaceway
By the Betelgeuse Hotel
Mapping out constellations
Of the place I know so well
Sifting through the system
For the piece that knows my name
Endlessly I listen
In the master game
Welcome to my world
(Welcome to my world)
Welcome to my only world
(Welcome to my only world)
It is full of space junk
But your words are coming through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
Bringing me to you
Through the tenth dimension
To the certainties beyond
Dreamily in attention
And the sub-atomic bomb
Machine that spins within me
And the spirit that drives me on
Searching for an answer
Welcome to my world
(Welcome to my world)
Welcome to my only world
(Welcome to my only world)
My head is full of space junk
But your words are getting through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
Bringing me to you, yeah
It's bringing me to you, yeah, yeah oh
Sitting on the space junk
What am I to do?
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
My head is full of space junk
But your words are getting through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
It's bringing me to you
It's bringing me to you
It's bringing me to you
2. THE LONG MARCH
(Instrumental)
3. THE DRAGON
Dragon Tales, Dragon Tales
It's almost time for Dragon Tales.
Come along and take my hand,
Let's all go to Dragon Land.
There's Ord he's the biggest,
Not so brave of heart.
There's Cassie,
So shy, but so very smart.
There's Zak and Wheezie and his tales of fun,
Cause you know two heads are better than one.
Dragon Tales, Dragon Tales
It's almost time for Dragon Tales.
Come along and take my hand,
Let's all go to Dragon Land.
And that's what started Dragon Tales.
Around the room the dragons flew,
4. THE PLUM BLOSSOM
Color flowers your eyes seem
Ever changing in my mind
Colors bleed to red as I kiss your face
Want to tell you I love you
Everyday as we grow
See I know now
Yes I know now it's all my own
And I know now
Can you feel my pain as you walk on by?
Will you tell me you need me
Every time, yeah all alone?
See I'll show you things never seen before
For your mind to untangle
On your own, no, all alone
Yes I know now
Yes I know now
It's all my own
Yes I know now
I'll watch as you go
Yes I know, it's alright
And I know now
Yes I know now, it's all on my own
As you blossom, yes, you blossom everyday
And I know now
Yes I know now, it's all my own
As you blossom everyday, everyday
Oh, I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't fear my eyes, they're turning red
I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't feel you slipping from my hands
And I know now
Yes I know now, it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
And I know now
Yes I know now, it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
Now I know
Yes I know now, it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday, everyday
Color flowers your eyes seem
Ever changing in my mind
5. THE TAO OF LOVE
(Instrumental)
6. THE LITTLE FETE
"I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.
We are always three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence. when I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart. this sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me"
7. YIN AND YANG
Like a dog in the pouring rain
Diamond days cut and dry
But beauty in the hurricane's eye
Under fire under thumb
No golden hand, no golden sun
Diamond days cut and dry
But beauty in the hurricane's eye
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Alcohol is your yoga baby
Gonna call out my name
Then I'm gonna rain
All over you
All over you
Diamond days cut and dry
But beauty in the hurricane's eye
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Like a dog in the pouring rain
Diamond days cut and dry
8. HIMALAYA
Miscellaneous
Wie Sand Am Himalaya
Come on, come on
Das Licht ging aus
Und du dachtest schon dich streift ein Bus
Oder war's ihr Kuss- Twilight Zone
Abgehoben ist die Welt von Heut
Ob zu zweit oder
Am Canape bei Sigmund Freud
Zu, zu immer zu
Wondering why I'm feeling blue 'cause of you
Der Wahnsinn sucht uns stets zu amieren
Auf neuen Wegen uns zu amüsieren
Wir suchen Sand am Himalaya,
Suchen Schnee am Playa
Das Schicksal ist ein schweres
Ein Schatz am Grund des Meeres
(Doch dann)
Das Licht geht an
Und du denkst, oh mann
Hat sie dich
Oder hat sie nur das Radio an
Ungeachtet des Geschlechts
Folgt im Tango jedem Schwung
Nach links der Ruck nach rechts
We're drivin' drive' drive overdrive
That's the rhythm of our life, oversized
Doch eins und zwei und drei und Wiegeschritt
Läuft die Zeit dem Geist davon, wer läuft mit?
Wir suchen Sand am Himalaya
Suchen Sand am Playa
Das neue Salz des Lebens
Die Politik des Schwebens
Die Schrägen Schwebenslagen stimulieren
Wie immer neuen Wahnsinn inszenieren
So schräg wie Sand am Himalaya
Suchen Schnee am Playa
Das Schicksal ist eines schweres
Ein Schatz am Grund des Meeres
Miscellaneous
Wie Sand Am Himalaya
9. SUMMIT
Time for me to rollercoast
And time for you to up and go
You're making a fool
Poking fun of ghosts
Can't you please follow your nose?
And leave supplies for those
Who need to refuel
Knuckle down! knuckle down!
Summit
Time for me to rollercoast
And time for you to up and go
