lyrics

TOO MUCH SAKI

And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!

Empty suits in back rooms sing along to pop logic
following balls down a passage to blue pill's end
EXSQUEEZE ME! he said, which was lost in translation
The curves of this vase buck the all pervasive trend

And then she brought in the sake ...

PLEASE ENJOY said the geisha
in her powdery speech with an Esperanto blend
Illuminati trays with exclusive affectations
complete with after dinner mints and nuts from all the major nations

And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!

Empty boots in back rooms divvying up the spoils
tribute from the borders of empire's end
UNSHEATHE ME! he said, which was lost in translation
The length of this sword is a priviledge to append

And then she brought in the sake ...

PLEASE ENJOY said the geisha
with her bashful demeanor and deferential bend
Ribbons of silk flung to all four directions
as the generals lined up for their white glove inspections

And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!

What ya gonna do when they drag you by the collar?
How ya gonna feel when the dragon slaps your wrists?
60 days you’re stuck inside the slammer
And your wife can’t understand
Sayonara sweet Japan - until your time is up!... SAKI!

Empty goons in back rooms holding court cards and courtesans
cigargettes hanging from each anterior end
HIT ME! he said, which was lost in translation
Got my hands on lady luck and to my will she will bend

And then she brought in the sake ...

PLEASE ENJOY said the geisha
as she shuffled to the table which she proceeded to upend
Doubled bladed action with furious acceleration
amidst a sudden red rain and a flurry of decapitation

And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!
And the girls say: Too much sake!
