Across the Sea

You are eighteen year old girl, who live in small city of Japan You heard me on the radio about one year ago And you wanted to know, all about me, and my hobbies My favorite food and my birthday Why are you so far away from me? I need help and you're way across the sea I could never touch you I think it would be wrong, oh I've got your letter You've got my song They don't make stationery like this Where I'm from so fragile, so refined So I sniff (so I sniff) And I lick (and I lick) Your envelope and fall to little pieces every time I wonder what clothes you wear to school I wonder how you decorate your room I wonder how you touch yourself and Curse myself for being across the sea Why are you so far away from me? I need help and you're way across the sea I could never touch you I think it would be wrong, oh I've got your letter You've got my song At ten I shaved my head and tried to be a monk I thought the older women would like me if I did You see mom, I'm a good little boy (good little boy) It's all your fault Momma, it's all your fault It's all your fault Goddamn, this business is really lame I gotta live on an island to find the juice. So you send (so you send) Me your love (me your love) From all around the world As if I could live off words and dreams and a million screams Oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel Why are you so far away from me? Why are you so far away from me? I could never touch you I think it would be wrong I've got your letter You've got my song (I've got your letter) I've got your letter You've got my song
