"To The Fair Motormaids Of Japan" lyrics

"To The Fair Motormaids Of Japan"

And the girls say
And they still say

So I took a trip to the center of him in a California track suit
But you fell too hard for a little Deuce Coupe
But she ran off with a Nazi
And let's not forget that sea foam suit she put you in to see the greyhounds
Sure, they run real faster than you ever could or will

Say goodbye to the fair motormaids of Japan
Yume no yoida wa
You said, "We're dead, not sleeping"
The things that I would go through
To turn you back around
The laces I would trip on
Would bring on the circus crowds
The last banana hairdo
Got a laugh from the samurais
The things that I'd turn into
To turn you back to me
Again

Summer comes and summer goes
Shells and shells and a bad girl's balm

So say goodbye to the fair motormaids of Japan
Yume no yoida wa
You said, "We're dead, not sleeping"
The things that I would go through
To turn you back around
The planes that I have died on
Trade you for another cloud
The mountain biking posse
That brought back another man
The things that I'd turn into

Watch me turn
The things that I'd turn into
Watch me turn
Watch me turn
Watch me turn
The things that I'd turn into
