Japanese Hands Lyrics - Reg Strikes Back - Elton John

Outside I can hear the fireworks 

Beyond the paper walls 

Where the symbols painted black and white 

Run together when the rain falls 

And the wind chimes across Kyoto 

Each time the earth moves 

Was it the quake that shook me 

Or was it something to do with you 

And the hot wind heats the bamboo blinds 

And your almond eyes always shine 

Sitting cool behind your painted fan 

All the secrets of the east 

Conceal the beauty and the beast 

For tender is the man in her Japanese hands

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Flesh on silk looks different 

Than on a cotton sheet back home 

Where no one wears their hair like yours 

Beneath those oriental combs 

And with your thirsty fingers 

Running up and down my spine 

You forget the western woman 

When you're sleeping on Kyoto time 

And the sky explodes 

and the moon grows cold 

To the distant sound of drums 

And the sky explodes 

And the moon grows cold 

As the dragons on the mainland 

Wait to heat the sun
