Chinese Bones

Watching Romeo dissolve I was tempted to join him

By the mirror of the lake where the statues unfurled

I had never seen a man so abuse his reflection

As the light shines through your Chinese bones

Watching Juliet implode I would hasten toward her

But around her feet I saw that her serpent was curled

And her eyeballs had rolled up so her pupils had vanished

And the light shines through your Chinese bones

As the light shines through your Chinese bones

I met an interesting dwarf and I told him a story

As he walked towards the east then the shadow was right

Something Shakespeare never said was “You've got to be kidding”

As the light shines through your Chinese bones

As the light shines through your Chinese bones

The line between us is so thin I might as well be you

And everywhere I've ever been I know you're going to

Chinese bones
