Sitting 'round, talking 'bout old China

And how the ladies hair will go to gray

Paying for a speedy revolution

Hoping those fine lines will go away

Someone screams about abuse of power

So lonely, there was nothing left to say

Hoping for a speaking revolution

And wishing that the crimes would go away

Cross your heart and hope to die

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye

Cross your heart and hope to die

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye

Dealing with the mask of your deception

I threw that other chance away today

I'd been asking for a speedy resolution

Hoping other signs would go away

Since sitting here, talking 'bout old china

And how old ladies hair will go to gray

I'd been praying for a speedy resolution

Expecting that the time will slip away

Cross your heart and hope to die

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye

Cross your heart and hope to die

It'll happen in the blinking of an eye
