nine million bicycles

there are nine million bicycles in beijing

that's a fact

it's a thing we can't deny

like the fact that i will love you till i die. we are twelve billion light years from the edge

that's a guess

no-one can ever say it's true

but i know that i will always be with you. i'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday

so don't call me a liar

just believe everything that i say

there are six billion people in the world

more or less

and it makes me feel quite small

but you're the one i love the most of all

we're high on the wire

with the world in our sight

and i'll never tire

of the love that you give me every night

there are nine million bicycles in beijing

that's a fact

it's a thing we can't deny

like the fact that i will love you till i die

and there are nine million bicycles in beijing

and you know that i will love you till i die!
