Live In Japan

[firstrays]

I love this,...
If you collect music like I do, you find a lot of "Live" albums, many of them recorded in Japan for some reason, and they are ALL titled "Live In Japan". This song was written by an associate of mine, Mike Keneally (former guitarist for Frank Zappa), and it is a little twist on the Live in Japan thing,... well, *I* thought it was funny,...
Generation D
Has taken hold of me
Intimations of mortality slowing
Wait around to get hired
I just got tired
The chicken soup for my soul
It’s greasy and it’s cold
And the present is too distant a memory
I need some turbulence
Hop a fence into a new world
I’ll live in Japan!
Maybe you don’t care
I wish I could go there in a van and
live in Japan!
I’ll take me a yo-yo
some gum and a crossbow and a fan and
live in Japan!
Won’t you come with me
I’ll bounce you on my knee
In a home under the stars by the river
Nothing on our feet
Oh it’ll be sweet, we’ll be dancing
We’ll live in Japan!
Revel in our otherness
skeletal and brotherless and oh man we’ll
live in Japan!
Stargazing in wonder
silencing thunder with one hand.
Live in Japan!
(Will you remember me when I’m gone?)
