Xizi She Knows

We come to your shores over misty millennial
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 your being (Slow down)
Dynamic and playful, you opened my eyes yeah
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

(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

(Slow down)
To the warp and weft of your being
Beautiful, graceful, like no other
Pretty damned good as you are

(Whoa) 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
