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.
