Japanese Restaurant 歌詞
Japanese Restaurant - Laura Nyro
Written by：Laura Nyro
We went to a japanese restaurant
The dogs the kids and me
Lose my cares
In a cup of plum wine
And salads from the sea
We tripped into the calm little
Room
With the sliding paper walls
Mom was wearin' her rose kimono
She was waiting for the fall
Just another night
A day in the life
Just another foreign film
In black and white
When you mess with them
You're out of the realm of zen
When they put on their party
Hats
The cook cracked yeah yeah yeah
The cook he told me
Children not exactly well
Behaved
I said well you can't have it all
And really who cares
When the magic plum wine
Is dancing on the paper walls
Then your lover shows up
Puts a sweet hello on your lips
And you're transported
To the mist on the mountain
Till everyone runs in for the kiss
Don't you know
It's just another night
A day in the life
Just another foreign film
In black and white
When you mess with them
You're beyond the realm of zen
When they put on their party
Hats
The cook cracked yeah yeah yeah
Did that ever happen to you
As the wine descended
My citizenship surrendered
And I became a geisha
I moved through the mystery
Dark and content
With an uppity feminist bent
Mr cook don't you save my life
Don't you save my love
I am quite contented yes sir
The elders say
Kids are grown and gone
Someday
So let's enjoy the adventure
I'm sorry
But it's just another night
A day in the life
I'm sorry
But it's just another night and day
Waitress do you remember us
As you can see the situation is still a little out of control
But I haven't had a cigarette it's amazing in five years
But you know for five years I've been very hungry
I'm sorry
But it's just another night and day
