Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians - Chinese Bones lyrics

Watching Romeo dissolve I was tempted to join him by the mirror of the lake where the statues unfurled I had never seen a man so abuse his reflection as the light shines through your Chinese bones watching Juliet unrobe I would hasten toward her but around her feet I sat that her serpent was curled and her eyeballs had rolled up so her pupils had vanished and the light shines through your Chinese bones as the light shines through your Chinese bones I met an interesting dwarf and I told him a story as he walked towards the East then the shadow was right something Shakespeare never said was 'you've got to be kidding' as the light shines through your Chinese bones as the light shines through your Chinese bones the line between us is so thin I might as well be you and everywhere I've ever been I know you're going to Chinese bones Chinese Bones
