lyrics

Silent haze, you surround yourself.
Sweetness calls, I just can’t help myself.
These four walls hold up broken glass.
And when I’m small, I know this can’t last.

Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling.
Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling for you.

The names you call, oh, the way you dress yourself.
Too hot to touch. Maybe you know too much.
Stand in lines, smoking and waiting.
Stand for your brother, stop anticipating.

Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling.
Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling for you.

Crazy, it’s wrong. How can this go on so long?
Passion touch. Breaking each other’s hearts.
Silent haze, sweetness calls.
Broken hearts; but I’m so small, so small.

Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling.
Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling.
Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling.
Oh, oh, oh. China’s calling for you.
