This love song is about a transcendentalist American sailor who falls in love with a Chinese woman when Chinese women weren't allowed to read or write and their secretive cryptic writing was used, "nu shu". Transcendentalism meets a discussion about the I Ching, Chinese mysticism and the similarities bring this couple together :) The metaphors are are adapted to "modern life".
LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Paint me rice
when you talk on the cone(code)
Show me light
Sketch me lines
Represent the actual
Inside the perspective of the obvious
Outside the desire for imitation
One's flight is effective communication
Well who's right in the poetic translation

Chorus:
Suspend in your booty groove
How that movement is fine
It in a sense turns me on
Tonight the village seems so alive
with a cosmic intermission
"I say I'd like to set you loose"
Gets me me sticky like I'm
In a Noni juice rebirth
How a transcendental noose
holds our realities in free motion
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
uh huh


Verse 2:
Orbiting 'round heart
You've locked a melody
As I "melt" so close
I am trapped by your affection
Inside I'm weaving a reflection
Of the outside...
The plants and their emissions
Hold on tight to the night
That is ever changing

Chorus:
Suspend into your
Booty groove
How that movement is fine
It in a sense turns me on
Tonight the village seems so alive
With a cosmic intermission
"I say I'd like to set you loose"
Gets me sticky like I'm in a Noni juice rebirth
The dance of reality and desire burn a fusion
A metaphysical rendezvous into transmission
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
uh huh

Verse 3:
So
Paint me black
When you talk in the code
Show me light (come on)
Sketch me lines
Represent the actual
Inside the perspective of the obvious
Outside the desire for imitation
One's flight is effective communication
Well who's right
In the poetics
In the translation


Chorus:
Suspend into your
Booty groove
How that movement is fine
It in a sense turns me on
Tonight the village seems so alive
With a cosmic intermission
"I say I'd like to set you loose"
Gets me sticky like I'm in a Noni juice rebirth
The dance of reality and desire burn a fusion
A metaphysical rendezvous into transmission
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
Nu Shu Nu Shu
uh huh
