lyrics

Beijing Blue
You’re lookin’ good today
I think I might come out to play

The sun hasn’t shone in seventeen days
And I haven’t had a conversation in just as long

Beijing Blue
You’re lookin’ good today
A man spit on my shoes
But that’s no news

Mama back home in the Beautiful Kingdom
Printin’ images for the fridge from social network sites
Asking herself what she could’ve done
to raise a more dutiful son

Beijing Blue
You’re lookin’ good today
I could even use my new vocabulary--

今天天气特别好
There is no better time
No better time than now

The middle eight is a place to be grateful
For clouds that are white and have shape
And backdrops that are blue
Where pandas made of clouds can chew their cloud bamboo

Beijing Blue
You’re lookin’ good today
I think I might come out to play
