Author/Artist/Singer: Graham Parker
Music Title/Track: Discovering Japan
Theme ID: 10762
Album: N/A


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 escape the feeling repeating in her head
When after all the urges, some kind of truth emerges
We felt the deadly surges discovering Japan

The GI's only use her, they always 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 wake up talking in the tongue of a different race, race
And as the [Bm] flight touches down my watch says eight-oh-two,
but that's midnight to you

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