China (Live) [Montreux 1991]

[Verse 1]

China, all the way to New York

I can feel the distance getting close

You're right next to me, but I need an airplane

I can feel the distance as you breathe

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you

How can I when you build the Great Wall around you?

In your eyes I saw a future together

You just look away in the distance

[Verse 2]

China decorates our table

Funny how the cracks don't seem to show

Pour the wine, dear, you say we'll take vacation

But we never can agree on where to go

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you

How can I when you build the Great Wall around you?

In your eyes I saw a future together

You just look away in the distance

[Bridge]

I know you love to hit me, boy

Oh, yeah, you love to hit me, boy

Oh, yeah

[Verse 3]

China, all the way to New York

Maybe you got lost in Mexico

You're right next to me, I think that you can hear me

Funny how the distance learns to grow

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you

How can I, yes, when you build the Great Wall around you?

In your eyes I saw a future together

You just look away in the distance

[Outro]

I can feel the distance

I can feel the distance

I can feel the distance getting close
