Oriental Beat - Lyrics - Hanoi Rocks

Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish hard rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009.

I'm gonna take a holiday, be somewhere far away I won't be back for a while, for a long, long time I wanna get away from the west to the place that I like best And where the nites are long and the girls are pretty I'm-a-going to rock 'til I drop, around the clock Ain't never ever gonna stop Gonna send you a postcard from Hanoi I won't be comin' back so beware my babe I am ten thousand miles away Chinese girls make me happy, it's enough if I tell 'em I'm not from the USA And they believe every word I say Hanoi Rocks every mornin', at night I fall asleep to the smell of romance As I see my geisha-girl dance 'round and 'round the world goes around I used to believe I was such a happy guy Now I've found my place on earth Leaving for Europe just can't be worth Baby, baby, won't you take my hand to Aikido garden well, you understand Propaganda surrounds us but never mind what they say I ain't going back home, I ain't going back home Chinese guys make me heavy, it's enough if I tell 'em I'm not from the USA, and they believe every word I say Here is no holiday 'cos holiday is everyday And let me tell you the truth:"if I'd leave I'd be a fool!"
