Lyrics
China Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's a china man in the wrong part of town
And he's unaware of what's gonna go down
Better run, better run
'Cause there's a man with an evil eye
And when he nods his head he's gonna die
Better run, better run
Run away into the night
Run away with all of your might
Run away, Run away, Run away, China Man
Where will his wife and family go
When they find out he won't come home
Better run, better run
Two boys and a little girl
What will they think of this world
Better run, better run
And all the papers they will say
He didn't have to die that way
Better run, better run
'Cause it's a sinister thing to do
It may be sad it might be true
Better run, better run
And I wonder if he'll ever see his family
Or ever see the light of day again
Or if they realize the events they set in motion
By killing off this poor old china man
By killing off this poor old china man
