Ebony beauty, pass 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 all
Right on cue just act surprised
When they invite you to take your curtain call
You climbed China's wall, your curtain call
I have 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
Is that 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 thirty five I must confide you will have blown them all
Right on cue just act surprised
When they invite you to take your curtain call
You climbed China's wall, your curtain call
They closed China's wall, curtain call
Ebony beauty, pass this shade the looking glass reflects
