Japanese Buffalo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Spoken:] One two three four five six
There was a guy, and his name was Johnny B. The loudest man in the land
Alright
Ok
Alright
Ok
Alright
Ok
Uh huh
How many more times you cross the line
Run for days with eager eyes
Screaming smile left alone
These crazy things you do
In the forest of your mind
Haunted by the loss of time
Feet stuck frozen in the snow
These crazy things you do
Shame
Shame
Shame
Oh oh oh
Shame
Shame
Shame
Oh oh oh
Alright
Ok
Alright
Ok
Alright
Ok
Uh huh
Japanese from head to toe
Red to green, green to gold
Waiting on that buffalo
These crazy things you do
And in my God I see it there
And ah ha ha and oh ho ho
Red to green and green to gold
These crazy things you do
Shame
Shame
Shame
Oh oh oh
Shame
Shame
Shame
Oh oh oh
Run it over my skin like a cheap plastic knife
In your heart and in your mind put me
Always aside
Do it over and again till it cuts to the bone
We can play by the rules or just
Leave it alone
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
That your heart has turned to stone
Now your heart's turned to stone
Run it over my skin like a cheap plastic knife
In your heart and in your mind
Put me always aside
Do it over and again till it cuts to the bone
We can play by the rules
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
