Somewhere Near Japan

Late last night
I got an SOS
The fairytale girl's
in deep distress
She says, I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan
My engine's all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don't know where I am
But it's somewhere near Japan
And she said,
Rescue me, I'm somewhere
in the China Sea
I think I'm sinkin' fast
This call is probably my last
I'm throwing out a life line
And I'm doing it
for old time's sake
Though I know you're gonna
break my heart one more time
Late last night
I got an SOS
The fairytale girl's
in deep distress
She says, I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan
My engine's all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don't know where I am
But it's somewhere near Japan
And she said,
Thank you dear, I think she sounded
quite sincere
And when she turned to go
She said, I crave adventure
Don't you know
And now she's trippin'
on some Chinese junk
Her world is spinning
and her hope has sunk
So I close my eyes
And I'm somewhere near Japan
The spinning stopped
and the world stood still
I broke her fall
and I always will
Strung out in no man's land
Somewhere near Japan
Rescue me
