Sweet Suffering 8. The Chinese Are Coming 9. The Shit Song (live) PRISONER OF THE HIMALAYAS I remember the land I've never seen. I remember a sound I've never heard. And the heart that never cries Sheds its first virgin tears. The days get longer. Of course, summer is here. But the nights also get longer Is it still winter? Oh, a sorrow that knows no season Has settled upon my heart. The Himalayas claim to be Guardians of the Tibetan people. Are you truly our guardians? Or merely our prison guards. -- ALONE ON A SUNDAY EVENING 10pm on a Sunday evening – I lazed around all day but I'm tired. Out there the night is dark, In here the night is lonely. Pacing the floor up and down, I look at the clock again… 11pm on a Sunday evening – My Polish neighbors are quarreling. Reading through yesterday's newspaper I must learn what's going on in this world. A bomb has gone off in Afghanistan! China's economy is growing! The global climate is changing! Saddam Hussein has been hanged! Midnight on a Sunday evening – Slowly, slowly I'm falling asleep. My bed and blankets are stone cold. I pray that I might dream a happy dream… The headline on a newspaper reads: "Tibet gains complete independence." Tomorrow morning, we shall all Squeeze into one big bus And return to our own homeland. What a beautiful dream I dreamed. -- CENTRAL PARK Today is your lucky day, Wangchuk! I ran into a former classmate of ours – Do you remember the girl named Peggy? She said that tomorrow, If the weather holds out fine She’ll take you for a stroll in Central Park. Tomorrow morning, wake up early and take a shower. There is Head & Shoulders conditioner in the bathroom. Light a butter lamp and pray to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Wear your jean pants And your leather jacket, Then take the Q Train to Central Park. If she comes to hug you, don’t be nervous. Just say, “Peggy, you have become so thin!” When it gets dark, take her to Side Tracks. With a smile on your face And sweet words in your mouth Impress her with your humility… … and she will open her heart to you.
