Rice Song
Bright blinking, blinding light
I once had sky above my eyes
Waving laundry
Wide open centuries
Collapsing into cities
Tall and dusty
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
It's only concrete now
Moved from the old world to the new
From the country
They're changing China now
I wonder how I'll even breathe
In this city
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
I once grew that, with my hands
I once grew that
I once sang that, with my mouth
I once sang that
I once had sky above my eyes
Waving laundry
Wide open centuries
Collapsing into cities
Tall and dusty
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
It's only concrete now
Moved from the old world to the new
From the country
They're changing China now
I wonder how I'll even breathe
In this city
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
Street sweeper whistle part of the rice song
So my grandmother can fall asleep
I once grew that, with my hands
I once grew that
I once sang that, with my mouth
I once sang that
