7 Chinese Bros. Lyrics by R.E.M.

And I Feel Fine... The Best of the I.R.S. Years 1982–1987

1984

[Verse 1]
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a seat"
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited, hold it to you
In the colored, come another
[Chorus]
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She'll return
She will return
[Verse 2]
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a seat"
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas
Swim the color, come another
[Chorus]
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return
She'll return
(She will return)
(She will return) Oh
[Verse 3]
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers, "Pull up a chair"
Take in one symphony, Mao
I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas
Swim the color, come another
[Chorus]
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the Communi did reign
She will return
She'll return
She will return
She'll return
