China Girl (Rainbow Theatre London 7th March, 1977) Songtext
von Iggy Pop

I couldn′t escape this feeling with my China girl
I'm just a wreck without my little China girl

I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

I′m a mess without my China girl
Wake up mornings, where's my little China girl

I hear hearts beating loud as thunder
I see stars crashing down


I feel tragic like I was 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
And 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
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 sugar, just you shut your mouth"
She says, "Shhh"
