Vertical Horizon - Japan Lyrics
I saw a young man by a telephoneHe was sitting alone in the rainI said, hey, young man what you doing here?He said, sir, Im going insaneSee I love an american beautyBut nobody here understandsSo he looked to the sky with resentment in his eyesAnd said, lord, why am I in japan?Lord why am I in japan?He told me a story about yesterdayHow he walked in the search of a friendBut nobody came to his rescueSo he came to his bitter endHe pulled me close and saidThey all stopped and staredAs I walked down the street aloneAnd nobody knew my nameNobody knew my nameI said, young man I know where youre goingAnd young man I know where youve beenBut Ive been in this land for a lifetime, it seems,And Im never to come back againNo, Im never to come back againSo I turned and I gave him my blessingAnd I left him alone in the rainBut I had to just stop and laugh at myselfStill nobody knows my nameNobody knows my name
