• Discovering Japan

Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking
The Tokyo taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt
And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you
And every kiss enslaves you

She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows
She can't just escape the feeling repeating in her head
When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges
We felt the deadly surges discovering Japan, discovering Japan

The GI's only use her, they only ram right through her
Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep
Seeing a million miles, between their jokes and smiles
She heard their hard denials

As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face
I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race
And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02
But that's midnight to you, midnight to you, midnight to you

I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions
I shouted sayonara it didn't mean goodbye
But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures
Just like in travel brochures, discovering Japan, discovering Japan

Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
