A Japanese Dream Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm going back to the land of the blind
Back to the land where the sun never shines
I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find
Everything just as it was before I left it all behind

[Verse 2]
I slept at nights there hysterically
I twisted and turned but I just couldn't get free
I opened my eyes but I still couldn't see
But I could feel her, China white girl

[Chorus]
So I get down on the floor like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey

[Verse 3]
That was a Japanese dream, alright
The sound of the storm and the flickering light
And the way that her scent used to fill up the night
Like, like her scent used to fill up the night

[Chorus]
So I get down on the floor like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
Yeah, I lay down on the floor like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey

[Bridge]
Just look at me now, just look at me this way
It looks like I am quite insane
It looks like I am trying to eat off my face
It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway

[Outro]
Back where the sun never shines
Back to the land of the blind
Back in a Japanese dream
