Verse

Sally says he's coming soon

A yellow man with a foo-man-chu

I drive by him with a shiny machine

He'll make me happy just wait in see

(The whole song is this progression except for the bridge)

I know I owe you for the last 2 times

But ta I love you like you've never seen

You've got give me just enough this time

Then I promise to get myself clean

Chorus

China white is a bitter end

China white took my best friend

China white was a beauty queen

Makes me cry just to think about it

Verse

She came down from small town BC

And she was once a real beauty

It hurts me to see her that way

And I just knew it had to end someday

Ain't nothing devine in the call of the sparrow

And don't you know it's making me cry

San Ludi, ain't that way

Don't you know its fit for you baby

repeat [Chorus]

Bridge

Out on the town with my face and my Cracker-Jack soul

Down in a mire baby, how you can breathe when your face is so burned?

Verse

Sally you been meeting on a dark whale

You know I sit alone and ponder about it

It's times like this I think you're already dead

But you're to stupid to lie down!

She started out by the library steps

Looking good, but needing some coin

She started turning tricks in her room

It makes me fucking sick to think about it

repeat [Chorus] (except third line is: “China white was a real beauty”)

Outro

China white, China white, China white, China white,

China white, China White, Makes me fucking cry, to think, about it.
