there is nothing


there is nothing to describe

there is nothing to describe
they are all construction workers
tearing down and building up
there is nothing to describe
they are children full of songs
european marching tunes
shouting, waving up and down
there is nothing to describe
they are dancing autumn leaves
they are soaring flocks of birds
there is early heat this year
in the city's radiators
there is nothing to describe
they are selling groceries
and the european car
all decked out in darken'd windows
tramples little cabbagge leaves
they are sold illegally
there is nothing to describe
they are ancient city moats
everybody keeping fit
they are trying to get by
they are standing on the street
they are selling vcd
there is nothing to describe
there is everything to buy
this is beijing, after all
