Han Shan Lyrics by No-No Boy

1942

2018

[Verse 1]
Outside snow is falling
Han Shan’s voice is calling
Boots on Back Bay avenues
With Mitski’s tunes I tarry
In Mass Ave library
Climb Cold Mountain after noon
We got a lot to do
Really, what is there to do?
[Verse 2]
Winter city freeze out
Finals week I bleed out
All my last good tricks and charms
Sliding down Newbury
Sugar Plummin' fairies
Blowin' kisses through their scarves
On the bridge over the pond
A quiet that disarms
[Chorus 1]
A glance across the water
Last imperial daughter
A trickster madame, not a thief
I keep my dress both pressed and clean
Based on a best seller
Dance like Helen Keller
So new
Cold Mountain, see you soon
[Verse 3]
Hoppin’ on the Green Line
Dogeared, yellow highlights
Pre-med major at BU
Trackin’ snowy steps
And sippin’ on some pep
In flasks of melted silver spoons
Eyes upon the moon
Really, what else can you do?
[Chorus 2]
Get off at South Station
A good meal’s like a vacation
Chinatown, a sweet unease
Find our food in Cantonese
Jazz band in the cellar
Dance like Helen Keller
True blue
Cold Mountain, see you soon
[Verse 4]
Finals come and go
Through winter city snow
Ambition keeps you on a hook
Hardbound Aristotle
Bowling pin glass bottles
Undress like a nervous crook
You give me such a look
God, I’ll miss that look
[Chorus 3]
A glance across the water
Last imperial daughter
A trickster madame, not a thief
I keep my prose both pressed and clean
Based on a best seller
Dance like Helen Keller
So new
