How 'Bout Chinese Tonight? Lyrics

Should I take up my ax

Or lay down on some railroad tracks?

I can't stay asleep, it laughs in my face

I'm getting old

Folding up your extra clothes

Learning what everyone knows

We all die alone, it helps to be kind

If you can see it right in front of your eyes

It might take some time but it'll get through

There's help on the way, they're coming for you

Just stay on the line, I'm scared too

Just make damn sure you got nothing to lose

Anyway

Alchemy in my field don't produce the highest yield

How 'bout Chinese tonight? How 'bout the world?

If you can believe it's not about to end

I tell you, my friend, I've got my doubts

But I won't trade my Bibles to figure it out

I got blood on my hands and plaque on my teeth

And I don't need no guru to tell me what to think

Anyway

I'll trade you flowers for rain

You killed the joy when you killed the pain

Traffic was moving today

Isn't that stuff you're supposed to say?

Hey, how was your day? Hey, well, thank you, I'm fine

But I can feel it coming down the line

I can't complain, I still got my health

I'm still out here playing with the cards I was dealt

No reason to doubt it, just stay on the line

Due to high volume this might take some time

Anyway
