King Kong in Hong Kong

I flew to hong kong for some business in june

caught the train from

the airport, taking me

to kowloon

checked in my hotel and went up to my room

the cleaners told me

"come back after noon"

so I walked out and joined the mass on the street

noticed someone begging in the corner bared feet

bought him a sandwich with some coffee and cream

smiling this is what he said to me:

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

went to the harbour and

got myself on a boat

the waves were bursting up and down but somehow

we'd float

I joined a group of tourists lined up like ducks

taking pictures of a bouddha by the docks

me and my band we had a

gig that night

we were jamming during soundcheck trying to get

this song right

a sold out venue filled

with asians and whites

lights went off that when

I sang into the mic

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

I got back on the train, bye bye babe, bye bye babe now

left hong kong not the same, I learned from the wise man

I got back on the plane, bye bye babe, bye bye babe now

left hong kong not the same, I learned from the wise man don't buy into fame

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong

you make me feel like king kong in hong kong
