Outside I can hear the fireworks
  Beyond the paper walls
  Where the symbols painted black and white
  Run together when the rain falls
  And the wind chimes across Kyoto
  Each time the earth moves
  Was it the quake that shook me
  Or was it something to do with you
  
  And the hot wind heats the bamboo blinds
  And your almond eyes always shine
  Sitting cool behind your painted fan
  All the secrets of the east
  Conceal the beauty and the beast
  For tender is the man in her Japanese hands
  
  Flesh on silk looks different
  Than on a cotton sheet back home
  Where no one wears their hair like yours
  Beneath those oriental combs
  And with your thirsty fingers
  Running up and down my spine
  You forget the western woman
  When you're sleeping on Kyoto time
  
  And the sky explodes
  and the moon grows cold
  To the distant sound of drums
  And the sky explodes
  And the moon grows cold
  As the dragons on the mainland
  Wait to heat the sun
