[Intro]
Y'all have to move back. Everybody up front, move back. Just a few inches would make a big difference up here, so people up here could breathe. So, at the count of three, everybody take a step back, okay? One, two, three, step back. One, two, three, take another step back, and another step back, and another step back, a little tiny one
[Verse 1]
Look for a while at the china cat sunflower
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copperdome bodhi drip a silvеr kimono
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind

To a double-e waterfall over my back
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]

Words from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee
[Instrumental]
