Ottawa to Osaka Lyrics
[Chorus]
Ottawa to Osaka
No lesson to learn
Racing beyond the islands of desire and time
Ottawa to Osaka
I live to move you
Chasing the rising tide
I am the light at your side
[Verse]
All we need is guns and water, gasoline and a stick of butter
Now, everyone's asking why we don't look like foreigners
Now, everyone's asking why we do not talk like foreigners
All we need is mascara, incognito, tuxedo
Now, everyone's asking why we don't look like foreigners
Now, everyone's asking why we up and left for
[Chorus]
Ottawa to Osaka
No lesson to learn
Racing beyond the islands of desire and time
[Bridge]
Now, everyone is asking why we do not walk like them
Everyone is asking why we do not talk like them
Everyone is asking why we do not walk like them
Everyone is asking why we do not talk like them
Everyone is asking why we do not walk like them
Everyone is asking why we do not talk like them
Everyone is asking why we do not walk like them
[Background Spoken Word in Japanese]
[Chorus]
Ottawa to Osaka
No lesson to learn
Racing beyond the islands of desire and time
Ottawa to Osaka
I'll listen to you
I am the operator of the marmelade sky
