©Kill Bill: Volume 2 Soundtrack
David Carradine:
Once upon a time in China
Some believe around the year, one-double aught-three.
Head priest of The White Lotus Clan Pai Mei
Was walking down the road
Contemplating whatever a man with Pai Mei's infinite power would contemplate
Which is another way of saying, who knows.
When, a Shaolin monk appeared on the road traveling in the opposite direction.
As the monk and the priest crossed paths...
Pai Mei in a practically unfathomable display of generosity
Gave the monk the slightest of nods.
The nod, was not returned.
Now was it the intention of the Shaolin monk to insult Pai Mei ?
Or, did he just fail to see the generous social gesture?
The motives of the monk, remain unknown.
What is known, were the consequences.
The next morning Pai Mei appeared at the Shaolin Temple,
And demanded that the temple's head Abbot offer Pai Mei his neck to repay the insult.
The Abbot, at first, tried to console Pai Mei, only to find, Pai Mei was inconsolable.
So began, the massacre of the Shaolin Temple,
And all sixty of the monks inside,
At the fists of the White Lotus.
And so began, the legend of Pai Mei's Five-Point Palm
Exploding Heart Technique.
Uma Thurman :
And what praytell
Is a five-point palm
Exploding heart technique?
The Legend of Pai Mei Lyrics
David Carradine and Uma Thurman

Verse
If we're so blind why do we hide
Everything that's goin on inside
In your eyes they don't lie
No I won't cry
These challenges are not so far away
Come what may, what's left to say
When loves here today
Why do we feel this way
Chorus
Like a mermaid in the sky
Untangling ocean tides
Your so far and wide
Do we learn to say goodbye
keep unbinding all my ties
I drift into your eyes
That's where I want to lay
Can we stay this way
Say it will be ok
I swim into the oceans way!
LIke a mermaid in the sky
Untangling Ocean tides
You're so far & wide.
Middle Eight
So if we're to find a sight or sound
Anything that's going on around
Your my guide, my devine, I have found
Come what may, what's left to say
When loves here today
Why do we feel this way.

You're an inside-out girl
So unexposed, she makes it happen
Turning heads likes the camera action
No limitations no faking
As she puts it on, takes it off
Her standards your pleasures
She paints it red live it, love it
Living the life of a inside-out girl!

Verse
As the pages turn, written black & white
words all seem to fade
Welcome to my surprise now hey
Do you need repair?
Ain't this the one who's might I bet
She don't compare
Say what's the point
When you know you've broken all of the rules
Chorus
I see the colours are in disguise
Leaning forward push it to one side
And pull me under again
It's systematic, u got to have it, hey hey
You just take & shake my knees honey
Verse
I'm relentless here is that not enough not enough
To realize, just trying to find some piece of mind
& you cross the borderline
so satisfied you justify
Where do you cross the borderline..
Chorus
I see the colours are in disguise
Leaning forward push it to one side
And pull me under again
It's systematic, u got to have it, hey hey
You just take & shake my need honey

Verse 1
See me Feel me heal me touch me-ee

Spirits here with me, if only for today
Then I pray oh yeah

It’s a little bit to much that I want for you..
Chorus
Not moving on nor moving away
Just creating a new normal day to day
And when i’m holding tight
Ooh tapping into momentum
Energise this need to care
With a little gentle persuasion
You don’t have to hide
In percussion so sudden it
blooms inside One’s memory
A need to be complete..
Verse 2
So See me feel me touch me
Tuning into connect

Then I won’t falter, I won’t falter hey eeh hey
RPTChorus
Not moving on nor moving away
Just creating a new normal day to day
And when I ’m holding tight
Ooh tapping into momentum

A need to be complete.

Pure
Verse
Take me there, unaware
I'm almost falling for you
Seem to care, that I love here
Tender pleasant meaning
Testing one, feelings oh!
Destinations spring into our lives
Trust your instincts as this dream arrives
Many choices open our eyes wide
Just make it like it's almost new!
When magic happens, can't miss the show
Just plant the seed to watch it grow
Testing one feelings oh, so heavenly
Chorus
Say my name Hey, & bring it on
Share your whole heart, you give it all
Your my divine, so don't deny
Cause I search & your yearning
Verse
Like petals forming indescreet
The taste of life is bittersweet
Endeavour what will be a possibility
A pleasant meaning it comes back to me
I'ts pure it's pure & wild & free
My feelings flowing naturally
With this fineness, I can meet
A trueness I have inside of me
Verse
To smell success it all makes sense
A beauty a kindness it's a friend
This is how we long to be
I now that it's you and me
I'm dreaming gently till the end of time!
Middle Eight
The path just takes us on & on
A truth or dare, when I don't know
We kiss our dreams
We're shining!
Take me there, unaware, I'm almost falling for you
You seem to care, that I love here
A tender, pleasant meaning
Fallen Leaves...
Capture a feeling in your life
Capturing moments, in your mind.
A pleasant meaning it comes back to me.
Testing 1, feelings, oh!
