Lyrics
Holding on with both eyes to things that don't exist
Peering through the cutting wrist at grand old mother greedy
Rolling out the cotton ship upon the carpet pillow
Throttling children callously, a messy day with Clancy
Gideon lied and Gideon died
The force of China felt
Gideon smiled as Gideon died
The thought of China held
Pulling on the golden robes, another foreign language
Stretching out the verbs and nouns together in the greeting
Some that felt the blade often, some deep confused emotion
Struck eye first against that wall of China under fire
Gideon lied and Gideon died
The force of China felt
Gideon smiled as Gideon died
The thought of China held
Writer(s): John Davies Cale
