Watching Romeo dissolve, I was tempted to join him
By the mirror of the lake where the statues unfurl
I had never seen a man so abuse his reflection
As the light shines through your Chinese bones

Watching Juliet implode, I would hasten to warn her
But around her feet I saw that a serpent was curled
And her eyeballs had rolled up so her pupils had vanished
And the light shines through your Chinese bones
As the light shines through your Chinese bones

I met an interesting dwarf and I told him a story
As you walk towards the East, then the shadows rise
Something Shakespeare never said was 'You've got to be kidding'
As the light shines through your Chinese bones
As the light shines through your Chinese bones

The line between us is so thin
I might as well be you
And everywhere I've ever been
I know you're going too

Chinese bones
Chinese bones

They opened Peter Sellers' heart and they told him a story  10a
Just 'cause you are not yourself doesn't mean you can't die 11a
He passed away in a hotel and they buried him slowly        12a

He passed away in a hotel and they cremated him slowly      12b

I met an interesting dwarf and I told her a story  10b

As you walk towards the East, then your shadow must rise    11b

Just because someone's your friend, doesn't mean they're your size 11c

Other things Shakespeare never said:
'You're gonna be sorry'
'It's killing me, honey'
'What time is the party?'
'You got to be kidding'
