China Sets
Oh, Let’s get married in a white chapel
sip coffee, listen to blues
and read morning’s headlines.
Let’s get married in white chapel
Live in a brick house, build a picket fence
and watch the good neighbors stroll by
Cause he’s something to look at
Can pick him out from bustling restaurant
just by his gait
Cause he’s something to look at
got a wide mouth, gaping grin
always fashionably late.
When he’s nervous,
his posture is fleeting.
it’s unfitting,
because he’s got the world together.
When he’s nervous,
his words
string together like magnets
across a refrigerator door.
But then-
I’ll say something ‘bout my world views
and you’ll suddenly deliver the quickest line
and I’m laughing
finally i’m light
Oh, Let’s get married in a white chapel
sip coffee, listen to blues
and read morning’s headlines.
Let’s get married in white chapel
Live in a brick house, build a picket fence
and watch the good, good neighbors stroll by
