David Bowie - China Girl

Chine Girl, a very funny song. A weakling in megalomanic gaga fantasy.

I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up mornings where's my little China Girl
I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down

swastikas ⇒ 卍 or 卐. A ancient symbol associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, carrying a auspicious meaning. Also used as a symbol for Nazi Party of Germany since 1920. Swastika.

I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the whites of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says … sh-sh-shhh
