[Lyric] Lhasa Town (Chris Jagger)

They came from the east
They came from the west
From the Kashmir lakes
And the Asian steppes
The Chinese court
And the Kublai Khan
And they headed down to Lhasa Town

To Lhasa Town to Lhasa Town
It's cold and dry and two miles down
But you won't see the Dali Lama 'round
If you're heading down to Lhasa Town

If you're hanging around the old Jokhang
Watch out for those video cams
Plain clothes police follow you around
Lhasa looks like Chinatown
Don't try to run too fast Else that breath
May be your last
Sit with nodding monks and pray
But don't say "Free Tibet" today
In Lhasa Town, in Lhasa Town
They came from the east
They came in the night
They came with guns and dynamite
To free the peasants from their chains
And make damn sure they don't rise again
But if you won't tow the party line
Best defect and say "Goodbye"
Become a refugee without a home
And never return to Lhasa Town
To Lhasa Town, to Lhasa Town

They came from the east
They came from the west
From the Kashmir lakes
And the Asian steppes
They say their prayers
And kiss the ground
As the headed down to Lhasa Town

To Lhasa Town to Lhasa Town
It's cold and dry and two miles down
But you won't see the Dali Lama 'round
If you're heading down to Lhasa Town
