He had just returned from Monte Carlo |
|
He was on his way to Japan |
|
And everything they did made me want to emulate them |
|
Made me want to be just like them |
|
And his wife, looking very Japanese |
|
Had never been to Japan |
|
She sang Japanese songs, I tried my best to sing along |
|
And the sky was gray and it looked like it might rain |
|
And I decided that |
|
I was only eating rice from then on |
|
And he spoke of places and of people that I knew very well |
|
And I asked about them, it seemed painful for him to speak |
|
She said maybe later, if we go to the movies you can speak |
|
He was reading heavy books, and seemed burdened by his knowledge, |
|
She wore a thin Japanese robe |
|
And the sky was gray and it looked like it might rain |
|
And I decided that I was only eating rice from then on |
|
Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher |
|
Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams |
|
Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher |
|
Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams |
|
I will meditate each morning at the sunrise |
|
I will write down all of my dreams |
|
I will travel on the backroads , I will |
|
Keep myself open to whatever |
|
Every day I will learn a secret language |
|
I will make my living in the casino |
|
With 11 or less against a bust card |
|
I will double down |
|
And the sky is gray and it looks like it might rain |
|
And I've decided that I'm only eating rice from now on |
|
Hey, sweet dreams, great teacher |
|
Hey, great teacher, sweet dreams |
