Josie Cotton - See The New Hong Kong lyrics

rate me

I WAKE UP WITH THE TV ON

FLY AWAY SEE THE NEW HONG KONG

ASIAN GIRLS JUST SLIGHTLY OUT OF FOCUS

I DON'T NOTICE THAT I NOTICE

THERE'S A MOVIE IN MY HEAD

PROJECTING FROM MY BED

DROWNING OUT THE SPLASHING SOUNDS OF SUMMER

WHEN I LOST THE 7TH WONDER

CHORUS:

HE ONLY KNEW THE WORDS

HE NEVER KNEW THE SONG

A TURN OF PHRASE

THAT TURNED OUT WRONG

HE ONLY KNEW THE WORDS

HE NEVER KNEW THE SONG

HE NEVER KNEW THE SONG

I SHOULD GO TO THE HARDWARE STORE

DO THE THINGS THAT I DID BEFORE

SEEMS LIKE THINGS ARE ALWAYS GETTING BROKEN

AND TIME KEEPS GETTING FROZEN

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID

AND THE WAY THAT YOU TURNED YOUR HEAD

YOU WERE LIKE A DRUG

MY HEART WAS POUNDING

A POEM BY CHARLES BUKOWSKI

BRIDGE:

I KNOW THERES A WORLD OUTSIDE

PEOPLE STAND IN GROCERY LINES

WHILE CONTINENTS COLLIDE

AND IM JUST SITTING AT MY VANITY

AND HOLDING ON TO GRAVITY

TONIGHT THERE'S A MOVIE ON

ITS A KUNG FU MARATHON

FISTS WILL FLY BUT GOOD WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH

IN THE HOUSE OF CRYING TIGERS

THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE'LL NEVER KNOW

AND FACES WE MUST LET GO

PEOPLE THAT I ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER

UNTIL THE 12TH OF NEVER...NEVER

AND THE MELODY YOU FEEL IS THE ONLY THING THAT'S REAL

HE ONLY KNEW THE WORDS... HE ONLY KNEW THE WORDS

FLY AWAY... SEE THE NEW HONG KONG

FLY AWAAAAAAAAY

SEE THE NEW HONG KONG
