BWhen I got back home I found a F#message on the door
BSweet Regina's gone to China F#cross-legged on the floor
C#Of a burning Bjet that's smoothly F#flying:
C#Burning airlines Bgive you so much F#more.
BHow does she intend to live when F#she's in far Cathay?
BI somehow can't imagine her just F#planting rice all day.
C#Maybe she will Bdo a bit of F#spying
C#With micro-cameras Bhidden in her F#hair.
Riff x4
BI guess Regina's on the plane, a F#Newsweek on her knees
BWhile miles below her the curlews call from F#strangely stunted trees.
C#The painted sage sits Bjust as though he's F#flying;
C#Regina's jet Bdisturbs his wispy F#beard.
BWhen you reach Kyoto send a F#postcard if you can,
BAnd please convey my fond regards to F#Chih-Hao's girl Yu-Lan.
C#I heard a rumor Bthey were getting F#married
C#But someone left Bthe papers in F#Japan.
Riff 2x (and over the ending)
F# C# B F# F# C# B F# fade out
Left them in Japan, left them in Japan...
