Lyrics for China

China all the way to New York I can feel the distance getting close You're right next to me but I need an air plane I can feel the distance as you breathe And sometimes I think you want me to touch you Well, how can I when you build the Great Wall around you In your eyes I saw a future together Oh you just look away in the distance China decorates our table Funny how the cracks don't seem to show Pour the wine, dear, you say we'll take vacation But we never can agree on where to go And sometimes I think you want to me to touch you But how can I when you build the Great Wall around you In your eyes I saw a future together Oh you just look away in the distance Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah, oh yes Ah ah, oh, I know you love to hit me, boy Oh yeah, you love to hit me boy, oh China all the way to New York Maybe you got lost in Mexico You're right next to me, I think that you can hear me Funny how the distance learns to grow Sometimes I think you want me to touch you Well, how can I, yes when you build the Great Wall around you In your eyes I saw a future together You just look away in the distance I can feel the distance I can feel the distance I can feel the distance getting close
