Going to Japan Songtext
von The Mountain Goats

There′s a north wind coming in
And there's a west wind coming in
And there′s an east wind coming in
And there's a strong wind blowing in from the south
And there's a sweet metallic taste in my mouth.
There′s a dead feeling lingering over the wind.

And there′s a one-way ticket in my hot little hand
And I'm kissing your eyelids and I′m going to japan.


There's life and liberty on my tongue
And there′s a dead silence where the wind-chimes hung
And on some mountain somewhere in the world it's snowing
But here in the fields there′s not a thing growing.
Maybe next year, ya know, there is a way of knowing.
There's wind coming in from all directions.
There's a coat on my shoulders--midnight connections.

And I′m kissing you and leaving you behind in the sand.
I′m holding you a while then I'm going to japan.
