Lyrics of Beijing by Melissa Ferrick
verse
I'm digging a hole
In my backyard
I hit a rock and sprung water
I dove in
And ended up in Beijing
verse
Stole me a bike
Joined up with the monks because silence
Is worth more these days
Oh, than A-O-L Time Warner
Or Martha Stewart stocks
chorus
If you can get it
Grab as much as you can
And hide it in your basement
For the next disaster
Silence for the next disaster, yeah, yeah
verse
Oh, my guitar
Sounds so good
Because I can't tell you why
And if distance makes the heart grow fonder
Then, ooh, look at you and I, yeah
Look at you and I, yeah
chorus
If you can get it
Grab as much as you can
And hide it in your basement
And for the next disaster
A little perfection during your disaster
(Yeah, yeah, yeah-)
bridge
So, bring me down to where I can't see
I'll pray for some medicine
Explain to you, I'm lost
You said, "You're not lost, you're free," yeah
You said, "You're free, baby"
You said, "You're free, you're free, honey, you're free"
You said, "You're free, you're free"
chorus
If you can get it
And grab as much as you can
And hide it in your basement (yeah)
For the next disaster
Yeah, during your disasters
outro
I'm digging a hole
I'm digging a hole
