This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers to pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle

Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you
In the colored come another

Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She'll return, she will return

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers to pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle

Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you
In the colored come another

Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she'll return

(She'll return, she'll return)

This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers to pull up a chair
Take in one symphony now
I guess we lost that battle

Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas
Swimming colored come another

Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the commune I did reign
She will return, she'll return, she will return
