He hides there waiting all night With legs crossed over asian-style Her phone's been ringing at odd hours She's planting sacred lotus flowers Only on a true return could you find that you'd never left (What's missing?) Counting on an unpredictable tide for deliverance (It's right in front of you!) Scouring the countryside just to find that the enemy's within yourself I've been waiting for you Her teapot screams, "I'm ready now" She dreams of Asia at odd hours Red soldier sings to Chairman Mao He guards his sacred lotus flower Only on a true return could you find that you've never left (What's missing?) Fully unaware that time was a line that the mind could bend (It's right in front of me!) Swallow every verse and rhyme just to find that the secret's to embrace yourself I've been waiting for you I'm tired of roaming Please help me keep my lantern glowing Only on a true return will you find that you've never left (What's missing?) Counting on an unpredictable tide for deliverance (It's right in front of you!) Scouring the countryside just to find that the answer's been inside yourself! I've been waiting for you
