Bamboo Floor |
Wednesday is the day of rest |
In the house with the bamboo floor |
I’m picking off the barroom flies |
Just in case I need another glass |
It’s so hot and the mirror’s gettin' dull |
I couldn’t see it, I couldn’t see it if I tried |
The man in the mask has sold out all for nothin' at all |
Now the monsoon’s here and it feels like judgment day |
Watch out for the ego’s eye |
Or the opium on the breakfast tray |
And the laughter of the dying monk |
From the poison of the tsetse fly |
All the mountains, they have no sides |
And the robbers, they have a thousand lies |
You can see it all in the rivers of Shanghai |
Another monsoon’s here and it feels like judgment day |
Watch out for the ego’s eye |
And the opium on the breakfast tray |
Or the laughter of the dying monk |
From the poison of the tsetse fly |
All the mountains, they have no sides |
And the robbers, they have a thousand lies |
You can see it all in the rivers of Shanghai |
Another monsoon’s here and it feels like judgment day |
