Chinatown Burberry

Chinatown Burberry
Gucci and Prada
A single original, nada
Chinatown Burberry
Pink plastic bags
Dim sum and designer knock-off tags

Chinatown Burberry
A tiny picture of you
Stuck to a cheap photo booth
Chinatown Burberry
A sunny day on Grant
Made you think of your aunt

Chinatown Burberry
Your own walk of fame
But the keychains for sale don't have your name
Chinatown Burberry
I saw you walking by Li Po's
With a face nobody knows

Chinatown Burberry
You were reading the news
You had the 30 Stockton blues
Chinatown Burberry
Bustling a-new
And nothing's ever changed about you

Chinatown Burberry
You're not very smart,
You're all attitude, all heart
Chinatown Burberry
You are who you are
You're a Red Star

Chinatown Burberry
Of thee I sing
Keep secret your big neon dream
Chinatown Burberry
Who knows you best
Who knows you're not like the rest

Chinatown Burberry
Make me go wow
With magic you hide in the sweat of your brow
Chinatown Burberry
Make me a king
Who commands very little and rules over nothing

Chinatown Burberry
Make me feel tall
And my arms feel like they stretch wall to wall
Chinatown Burberry
Steamed windows, pork buns
In the shadows wait the ghosts of your sons

Chinatown Burberry
A fortune promised, a fortune sold
Your eyes still search for mountains of gold
Chinatown Burberry
You worry your mother
Write home to tell her we have each other
