Mister Chen

Words and Music - Gary Morrell

Appears on Blue Earth Moon

 

There's the trains, there's the cars 

And the bridge is shaking 

It's like a dream of someone else 

it's like the opposite of waking 

 

Four miles to choose your launching spot 

Four miles to pick your burial plot 

 

He won't really talk to you 

unless you need his help 

If you're down and you’re sad 

and you're almost done 

 

Four miles to choose your launching spot 

Four miles to pick your burial plot 

 

He patrols the bridge 

It's his jurisdiction 

If you near the edge 

There's an interdiction 

 

Four miles to choose your launching spot 

Four miles to pick your burial plot 

 

Mister Chen gets it done 

Mister Chen is the one who gets it done 

He talks them down he gives them hope 

Mister Chen cuts the rope which held them bound 

 

The angel of Nanjing 

Just doing his thing 

It’s not easy for anyone 

in this world
