Is there a way out of here?
I've got to escape from you ego
You're just a cool puppeteer
Someone should take your dolls away
And these tears that fall are just a vehicle
From my emotion
So when you walk out of here
I ain't gonna cry no ocean

For all the tea in China
I would not walk behind you
You try to take me where I don't wanna go
All the tea in China
Isn't worth an hour with you

You've got me so confused
I'm runnin' in every direction
I've had it up to here
With all of your damned intentions
I don't want you here
I don't need hysteria
And you just spell trouble

For all the tea in China
I would not walk behind you
You try to take me where I don't wanna go
All the tea in China
Isn't worth an hour with you, baby
No way...

That supreme brand smoke
doesn't fool me for a moment
And the brandy in your hand
When you're come  into land
Ain't gonna cover the scar
Of what you really are
And that's something you are scared to show

For all the tea in China
I would not walk behind you
You try to take me where I don't wanna go
All the tea in China
Isn't worth an hour with you...
