Xizi She Knows

We come to your shores over misty millennia

From hustlers to emperors

For power and pleasure

We carve through the cars

Dance around the Daily News

Cue in the Grande ballabile

Even your ten-ton tone rings home for Marco Polo

Slow down

From a thread of sky

Slow down

To the warp and weft your being

Slow down

You're beautiful, graceful, like no other

Pretty damned good as you are

Slow down

Friend of mine

Slow down

In a terrible hurry for change

Slow down

As you unravel your marvels

From evergreen gardens

Remember we loved you this way

To treasure it all, scroll out to see

In gold, fire, wood, clay and water

Your structure and flow, adagio to allegro

With leaves to the tide

In full moon, plum blossom, we salute to you

Slow down

From a thread of sky

Slow down

To the warp and weft of your being

Slow down

Dynamic and playful, you opened my eyes yeah

You're pretty damned good as you are

Slow down

Friend of mine

Slow down

Could you go for progression not pace

Slow down

As you unravel your marvels

Don't lose them all on the way

Mantoshan

Slow down

From a thread of sky

Slow down

To the warp and weft of your being

Slow down

You're beautiful, graceful, like no other

Pretty damned good as you are

Slow down

Friend of mine

Slow down

You're in a terrible hurry to change

Slow down

Unravel your marvels, from evergreen gardens

Remember we loved you this way

Whoa, to the warp and weft of your being

You're beautiful, graceful, like no other

P-p-pretty damned good as you are

Xizi she knows that once it's gone, then it's gone

Xizi she knows that once it's gone, then it's gone

Xizi she knows that once it's gone

Then it's gone.
