ebony beauty, passed this shade  the looking glass, reflects  then a voice, calls me back  this is just circumstance; it is not personal  oh no, it never is  then you ram your hand in your bag for a little friendly substance  by the time you're 25, they will say  you've gone and blown it  by the time you're 35, I must confide  you will have, blown them up  right on queue, just act surprised, when they invite you to take you, curtain call  you climbed china's wall;  you, curtain call  I've done what I've done, and it has the ultimate consequence  then a voice calls me back  this is not business, no it's more like, spiritual  it's not what it is  then you ram your hand in your bag for a little protection    by the time you're 25, they will say  you've gone and blown it  by the time you're 35, I must confide  you will have, blown them up  right on queue, just act surprised, when they invite you to take you, curtain call  you've climbed, china's wall  you, curtain call  the closed china's wall  curtain call    ebony beauty, passed this shade  the looking glass reflects    these lyrics are submitted by mta_mta
