Japan ft. AMRADIO. Lyrics

I took the first available flight to Japan

Though in retrospect I wish I'd waited

Everybody stared at me as I walked down the aisle

I took my seat and sank into the checked luggage

Not one suitcase was zipped all the way

So I played dress-up until we landed

Blind men seven feet tall tossed me carelessly on the runway

And orange-clad day soldiers dragged me to the prison

Where the president and her assassin play dominoes

I bought in and finally took a proper seat

Till a bell in someone's head rang

Loud as the oceans beyond the walls

And I went right to sleep

Never been much of a gambling man

But nevertheless I understood the risks

My four track lover came to bail me out

With a functional homemade tape deck and a carton of cigarettes

I took them both and told her she'd come at the wrong time

But I was shocked when she just left

Did I take too little?

Should I have spoken more coldly, more frankly?

Did I think too much of her and not enough of myself?

I asked the county judge and she sent me back home

I landed in Seattle and the same thing happened to me

I'm starting to think

Some people just never learn a lesson

No matter how hard they try

I went back to Japan
