Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that’s going nowhere
If you stop, you’ll end up somewhere

Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands

Everybody wants to go to California
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else’s wife and kids (kids and wife)
But they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)

Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.

Everybody wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake you
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say 'thank you'

Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.

Now, everybody wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don’t come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.

Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody just hold hands

Dom je vedno bolj oddaljen stran
bela ptica nese me drugam
druge zvezde zdaj me grejejo
hladno sonce naše je zašlo

Gledam ven v temo
kaplje na okno padajo
ni me strah za jutrišnji dan
to mora biti raj

Bele iskre v nebo
v temi se vidi horizont
in edinstven ocean
se ga dotika tam

Krona mehka sede na glavo
nože smo odvrgli z radostjo
vsak pogled v sebi nosi mir
ples ob ognju naj prežene zver

Zletijo bele iskre v nebo
v temi se vidi horizont
in edinstven ocean
se ga dotika tam

Gledam ven v temo
kaplje z okna izginejo
ni me strah za jutrišnji dan
to mora biti raj
Je RAJ...

Druge zvezde zdej me grejejo
hladno sonce naše je zašlo
vsak pogled v sebi nosi mir
ples ob ognju naj prežene zver

Zletijo bele iskre v nebo
v temi se vidi horizont
in edinstven ocean
se ga dotika tam

Bele iskre v nebo
v temi se vidi horizont
in edinstven ocean
se ga dotika tam

((english))

Home has never been so far away
In the air I feel I'm here to stay
Silence all the way is silent fear
Distant sun is cooling down the day

Sitting inside my room
Staring upon this heavy rain
It won't be long, it's such a nice day
Don't interrupt my life

I see the sparks rising up
Clearing horizon in the dark
So magnificent is the ocean
When it reflects bright stars

Crown is gently put on every boy
Knives we threw away with pride and joy
Every face is smiling all in peace
Dancing by the fire scares the beast

And then I see the sparks rising up
Clearing horizon in the dark
So magnificent is the ocean
When it reflects bright stars

Sitting inside my room
I see the rain has gone away
Feeling good, it's such a nice day
Don't interrupt my life, my life, my life, my life, my life, my life

Home has never been so far away
Distant sun is cooling down the day
Every face is smiling all in peace
Dancing by the fire scares the beast

And then I see the sparks rising up
Clearing horizon in the dark
So magnificent is the ocean
When it reflects bright stars

I see the sparks rising up
Clearing horizon in the dark
So magnificent is the ocean
When it reflects bright stars

Big shiny jet plane in the sky
Please drop us off as we go by
We're an American band
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan
Faxes from the veiwers on tv
Karioke hokey-pokey on the screen
Dig my toes into the Pacific sand
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan [x3]
Yeah, 20 tonnes of Sushi-lovin' fun
(Yum yum)
The kiddy line will thank you one by one
(Arigato)
Please come out to see us when we land
And everything is rockin' out of control
When we hit Japan [x25]
Yeah, hi ya!
Wo-wo-ho-wo-wo-ho-ho-ho

Whoa!
I can't believe we're in Japan!
Look at all the lights!
The food!
The people!
Wow!

We're three cool white friends in Japan (Japan!)
We've never been to Japan
So we wrote a song about the three of us in Japan
And our label has to pay for it

Here we are at our five star hotel
The one from LOST IN TRANSLATION (In Japan!)
The views are amazing
And their champagne waiting
Because that's how we wrote it (Yummy!)

And now the label has to pay for the video (yay!)
And pay for everything that we say (no matter what!)
For example I'll be getting a massage right now
And I'll be drinking some sake (So expensive!) (Who cares?)

Here we are at the most expensive sushi restaurant in Japan (mmm!)
And now we're at Tokyo Disneyland
And now we're in Hawaii for one random shot that our label has to pay for!

Cause we're three cool white friends in Japan (In Asia!)
The fact that we're white isn't why we're friends
But we are white, and we're friends (In Japan)

At this point in the video we'll be super drunk (WEEEE!)
Standing near some kind of Dragon
And then we'll buy some stinky used girls panties
Out of one of those pervert vending machines
Now we've seen sumo wrestling live
Unless we get dropped by our label

Cause we're three white douchebags in Japan (That's us!)
It's all part of our master plan
To get some much needed R&R
At the expense of Universal Records

Wow Look at all this Japanese money
It's called Yen
I heard it's worth more than American money
Let's dump it in the river!
(phone rings)
Moshi Moshi
Guys it's the label
This video's really expensive and-
BYE!!

Pokemon!
Dump it in the River!
Our rental car!
Dump it in the River!
This old guy!
Dump him in the river!
And now we're flying home first class!

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

Time waits for no one

No holy saviour came again

It's here now, my old friend

And it's time to go home...

Back to the stars

Now I know how it sounds

But I know how I feel

And this boredom kicks into the aligned

The invisible and the divine

And the lights upon the hill at night

They have followed me young

And into tomorrow No time for you

Time alone

This time I think I've found it

Goodbye my love

It came for me

I'm going back to Japan
