Lyrics

RICKSHAW BLUES

In a rickshaw in china
You told me: I love you.
And no wall, no government
Can stop me from running away with you.

Then you whispered me words
That blew me right out of my mind
Girl you've gotta stop this game
I'm just a lost soul passing by

We got no future, you and me. We got no future.

Let's ride through the night
Like firecrackers in the sky
And when the morning comes
We'll laugh and kiss goodbye

In a rickshaw in China
I broke the little girls heart
And I watched it turn black as her western dreams faded away
Then I took her trembling hand, said I'm a solitary man
Guided by the voices in my head

So You see, we got no future.

But I hope someday she will understand
That happiness lies within
Not in the hands of a western man
