Paul Gilbert - Koto Girl lyrics

When she was two Mama told her what to do Sit and behave Don't make a sound now When she was eight She had found a different fate Move in a thing That's up and down now When the clock had moved some more She could open any door she pleased She's a Koto girl Playing eighteen string guitar Been around All the eastern world She can't leave now, but her dreams still travel far Now she is grown Has a life all of her own Plays all the time Just to be seen now I met her here Drinking cold ASAHI beer Or could have been A gra** of tsing tao I walked up and asked her please She replied hello in cantonese She's a Koto Girl Who knows what she wants to be Been around All the eastern world But hopes someday for a life where she is free Don't go away I want to be with you I tried to say Come on, let's see it through But she's got those Stars in her eyes Shanghai, goodbye Signed a major record deal Now she plays TV shows in high heels She's a Koto girl A dream come true superstar Been around All the eastern world But Koto girl wants to climb the billboard charts She's a Koto girl Playing eighteen strings guitar What a sound Heard around the world this Koto girl (Koto girl) Has got her strings wrapped around my heart
