Japanese Hills

A woman found me lost at sea

Strange words, she said to me

"Lose yourself, it'll set you free"

"Lose yourself, it'll set you free"

I left myself on that ocean floor

She slammed open my front door

I'm in the kitchen with a knife

A common place to end a strife

Awake dead souls, return to life

Awake dead souls, return to life

"Okay", I said, and waved my arm

I'll come along, but I'll be armed

Later on in the Japanese hills

She said this and gave me chills

"Settle the score, pay your bills"

"Settle the score, pay your bills"

I threw my dime in an empty hole

Moved on, stripped to my bare soul

Now and then we meet

Under the noonday sun

I'm still in my lifeboat

But I'm not the only one
