Horizon Vertical Japan Lyrics

Japan Lyrics

I saw a young man by a telephone

He was sitting alone in the rain

I said, "Hey, young man what you doing here?"

He said, "Sir, I'm going insane"



See I love an American beauty

But nobody here understands

So he looked to the sky with resentment in his eyes

And said, "Lord, why am I in Japan?"

Lord why am I in Japan?



He told me a story about yesterday

How he walked in the search of a friend

But nobody came to his rescue

So he came to his bitter end



He pulled me close and said

"They all stopped and stared

As I walked down the street alone

And nobody knew my name

Nobody knew my name"



I said, "Young man I know where you're going

And young man I know where you've been

But I've been in this land for a lifetime, it seems,

And I'm never to come back again

No, I'm never to come back again



So I turned and I gave him my blessing

And I left him alone in the rain

But I had to just stop and laugh at myself

Still nobody knows my name

Nobody knows my name
