Down at the diner scorin' all the time

We were the kings of the things we liked to do
A game of rivalry comparing me and you, me and you

Alan: Got the rhythm of the breakers in my blood
I take it with me everywhere I go

Can't do without it it's the only way I know
There's no goodbye to all the ties that bind us to
The way we'll always be, me and you, me and you

Brian: Two different drummers playing side by side
You know the best of bets will survive

Close-up on "Somewhere Near Japan":


[Mike]Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan

[Carl]My engine's all burned out
My crew has all [Omnes]bailed out
[Bruce]I don't know where I am
[Mike]But it's somewhere near Japan

[Mike]And she said
[Omnes]Rescue me
[Mike]I'm somewhere in the
[Omnes]China Sea
[Mike]I think I'm sinkin' fast
[Carl]This call is probably my last
I'm throwin' out a life line
And I'm doin' it for old time's sake
Though I know you're gonna break my heart
One more time

[Mike]Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan

[Carl]My engine's all burned out
My crew has all [Omnes]bailed out
[Bruce]I don't know where I am
[Mike]But it's somewhere near Japan

[Mike]And she said
[Omnes]Thank you dear
[Mike]I think she sounded
[Omnes]Quite sincere
Mike]And when she turned to go
Carl]She said I crave adventure don't you know

[Alan]And now she's driftin' on some Chinese junk
Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk
So I close my eyes
And I'm somewhere near Japan
The spinning stopped and the world stood still
I broke her fall and I always will
Strung out in no man's land
Somewhere near Japan
[Omnes]Rescue me
