lyrics

I can see that full moon risin’
I can almost hold it in my hand
makes me recollect the time we first met
someone somewhere had a plan
like peas in a pod like beams of light
thick as thieves don’t you know
what’s lost in translation can be found hanging out below

well you had no idea who I was babe
did not know what we might become
we met hanging off the end of a plank
with a fist full a Haitian rum
we saw some birds flying overhead
and we knew we was close to land
what’s lost in translation can be found buried in the sand

the pages they fall before me while the ink still ain’t dry
I keep on asking these questions of why oh why?

we left our institutions left them in the dust
we heard about this solution of freedom or bust
there’s plenty of time to settle down plenty of lawns to mow
what’s lost in translation can be found on the open road

so we lit off all our fireworks drained off all our supplies
someone said that we weren't smart enough
but we figured that we was wise
to live in the future while the present dies
you’re sleeping in a house of regret
what’s lost in translation can be found when the last sun sets

the pages they fall before me while the ink still is dry
I keep on asking these questions of why oh why?

do we do what we do babe
when everything’s been done before
we fly through the skies with unopened eyes
keep on wanting more
more of this and more of that
just keep on piling it high
what’s lost in translation can be found the day you die
