Forbidden City
Joe Strummer · Rock, Art & The X-Ray [1999]
Okay, dream of freedom
Under the moon in the dragon room
Inside the mind of a soul confined
Don't talk about soon in the dragon room
Under the scream of a jet machine
Who knows in the hills
Who knows when she will
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out, oh yeah
Gold silk in a loom in the dragon room
That silk that will be for the flag of the free
Who knows in the hills
Who knows when she will
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out, oh yeah
Yeah, China
Whoa, oh, China
Yeah, China
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
Oh, China
Under the moon in the dragon room
Inside the mind of a soul confined
Don't talk about soon in the dragon room
Under the scream of a jet machine
Who knows in the hills
Who knows when she will
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out, oh yeah
Gold silk in a loom in the dragon room
That silk that will be for the flag of the free
Who knows in the hills
Who knows when she will
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out, oh yeah
Yeah, China
Whoa, oh, China
Yeah, China
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
When all the hidden pity in the Forbidden City comes out
Oh, China
