China Girl

David Bowie · A Reality Tour [2010]

I couldn't 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 these stars crashing



I'm a mess without my little China Girl

Wake up in the morning, where's my little China Girl

I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder

Saw these stars crashing down



I'm feeling 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 swastikas 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

You know;

I'll give you television

I'll give you eyes of blue

I'll give you men who want 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
