Mah-Jong (2008 Remaster)

Third floor walk-up

One block east of chinatown

She walked by my window

While the rain is pouring down

Looking in she sees
The easy money lying everywhere

And it's clear she don't approve
And it's clear she don't approve
Through a cloud of smoke
I shoot a little smile over there
And I know what she's thinking
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play

She know mah-jong
Waste your life away
Don't you throw it away
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play

But she loves the player

With the dark eyes burning

I am opening the wall

Can there be no other chance
I feel my fortune's turning

And I wish for nothing else at all

Than to run to her

Looking up I see her signal
With her fingers through her hair
Telling me the hands are clean

Understanding well
I turn a dragon tail into a pair
And the game is over
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play
She don't play
She know mah-jong
Waste your life away
Don't you throw it away
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play

Though I don't obey her
Still she loves the player
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play

She know mah-jong
Waste your life away
Don't you throw it away
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player

Three floors up from where the lanterns
Light the parlors on the street
There awaits another world
There awaits another world
And though there are not many things
Upon which she and I agree

We enjoy the difference
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play
Don't you play
She know mah-jong
Waste your life away

Don't you throw it away
She know mah-jong
Mah-jong she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player
She know mah-jong

Mah-jong she don't play

She know mah-jong

Mah-jong she don't play

She know mah-jong

Mah-jong she don't play

Though I don't obey her

Still she loves the player

She know mah-jong

Mah-jong she don't play

She know mah-jong

Waste your life away

She know mah-jong

Mah-jong she don't play
