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