Dream Narratives in Modern China Lyrics by Hua Li 化力

Yellow Crane EP

0

[Verse 1]
It was that Rat Year, the threshold of fevers would factor
She is 87, she can't take the chatter
Matriarchal glow
Still got babies at her, not mine though
And never one to flatter
She suggested that my ripened fruits had spoiled ever after
Western tendencies, should have raised the entrance fees
Like those bedrooms at the Summer Palace
Fеigning veils of secrecy divinеd by double ticketing
If she didn't have to squint that one eye
I wondered what she'd read
Novels, biographies, married a poet
But her preference wasn't poetry
Feeling slighted, set his eyes on freshman ovaries
Antagonized her potently
Every photo meant negotiation
How to split the only two remaining of that generation
They looked handsome sitting far apart
A field of seeds between them spanning oceans
And tight mountains marched
[Chorus]
See ya grow old under cloud cover
Hold dear all the hearts we'll plunder
They keep telling us to dream, but I don't wanna
I got you and the rest I'm not so fond of
[Verse 2]
I wish I could bring you everywhere
Wish that you had been there with Lao Lao and Gu Gu
Squeezed into a single chair
Clasping thighs in laughter, like we do
Bouncing silver perms, well, we won't have that
You went natural in '06, we hadn't met yet
But in seven years we'd be lying in my bed
You'd be pushing me to get that D
That present day, still drives me mad
And only 'cause you love Drake, I'ma say the best I ever had
You are love to me, home of vulnerability
And though you're not an author or a doctor, know you oughta be
You've been saving me since I was nineteen
Though it's mutual, you watched me pick up card fifteen
And stuck through my self-therapy
Of pushing into scenes in which a slow death was a guarantee
Aligned our habits perfectly
You understand me wordlessly
I need that, never mind the setbacks
You saw the phoenix in me, let me lie in ashes
'Til I turned up from infirmary
[Chorus]
See ya grow old under cloud cover
Hold dear all the hearts we'll plunder
They keep telling us to dream, but I don't wanna
I got you and the rest I'm not so fond of
See ya grow old under cloud cover
Hold dear all the hearts we'll plunder
They keep telling us to dream, but I don't wanna
I got you and the rest I'm not so fond of
