Chinese Sword Songtext
von Disco Ensemble

Green like a pea, dropped off the hospital
They brought me sweets and roses of cactuses
Hat on the post, ears and the abs
And marching in rows to lay eggs in my head

In the cool morning low, morning low
With a song sharp like a sword, a Chinese sword

In the back of my brain, a glimmer of hope
Was itching like toes of a leg that got amputated
Greenish white, my face like a canvas
Where end credits roll from my forehead to chin
Stay in your seats and watch the end
Credits roll from forehead to chin


The cool morning low, morning low
With a song sharp like a sword, a Chinese sword
Eternal compassion, eternal remorse
Chopping my heads right off
The cool morning low, morning low

Oh, we cried like there was tomorrow
Fate is cold when we hold each other
In a jet plane circling the Earth
To keep the night from catching us again

In the cool morning low, morning low
With a song sharp like a sword, a Chinese sword
Eternal compassion, eternal remorse
Chopping our heads right off
The cool morning low, morning low
Sharp like a Chinese sword
