[Verse 1]
From the 17 hundredth floor
She watches the swallows soar
Storm coming from the east
From the east, from the east
A cumulonimbus dream
Like poppy fields and whipping cream
And tears flowing from the east
From the east, from the east
[Chorus]
She's so far gone
In old Hong Kong
Dim red lights
With wooden pillows
[Verse 2]
Her boyfriend was named RD
He said, "You never had no dreams like these"
The needle is sharp and clean
It's from the east, from the east
A warmth and some distant bells
The sweetest thing she ever felt
The smoothest road into Hell
Is from the East, from the east
[Chorus]
She's so far gone
In old Hong Kong
Dim red lights
With wooden pillows
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
She's so far gone
In old Hong Kong
Dim red lights
With wooden pillows
She's so far gone
In old Hong Kong
Dim red lights
With wooden pillows
