Old China Lyrics - Singles - John Cale And Bob Neuwirth

Sitting 'round, talking 'bout old China 

And how the ladies hair will go to gray 

Paying for a speedy revolution 

Hoping those fine lines will go away 

Someone screams about abuse of power 

So lonely, there was nothing left to say 

Hoping for a speaking revolution 

And wishing that the crimes would go away 

Cross your heart and hope to die 

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye 

Cross your heart and hope to die 

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye 

Dealing with the mask of your deception 

I threw that other chance away today 

I'd been asking for a speedy resolution 

Hoping other signs would go away 

Since sitting here, talking 'bout old china 

And how old ladies hair will go to gray 

I'd been praying for a speedy resolution 

Expecting that the time will slip away 

Cross your heart and hope to die 

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye 

Cross your heart and hope to die 

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye
