China Cat Sunflower (Live at Recreation Hall, Penn State University, May 6, 1980) The Grateful Dead

[Intro]
Y'all have to move back. Everybody up front, move back. Just a few inches would make a big difference up here, so people up here could breathe. So, at the count of three, everybody take a step back, okay? One, two, three, step back. One, two, three, take another step back, and another step back, and another step back, a little tiny one

[Verse 1]
Look for a while at the china cat sunflower
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copperdome bodhi drip a silvеr kimono
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandanna
Likе a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle
To a double-e waterfall over my back

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Comic book colors on a violin river crying a lot of
Words from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee

[Instrumental]
