[Verse 1]
4 AM Osaka, my brain's a mess
Octopus balls and sauce
End of the century stress
Sleeping on the floor of a record store
The girl that I love's at home
Facing the world alone
[Chorus]
Eyvind Kang, Eyvind Kang
Eyvind Kang, waltzing with Eyvind Kang
[Verse 2]
Sea cucumber stew and a pot of tea
Taiwanese cigarettes
Commuters all fast asleep
[Chorus]
Eyvind Kang, Eyvind Kang
Eyvind Kang, waltzing with Eyvind Kang
Eyvind Kang, Eyvind Kang
Eyvind Kang, waltzing with Eyvind Kang

This song is about a weekend I spent with the great violinist and composer, Eyvind Kang when we were on tour together with Beck. We had an adventure that began in the clubs of Osaka, continued through hot springs near old samurai training grounds and ended up in Kyoto.
