John Darnielle - Going to Japan lyrics

There's a north wind coming in And there's a west wind coming in And there's an east wind coming in And there's a strong wind blowing in from the south And there's a sweet metallic taste in my mouth There's a dead feeling lingering over the wind And there's a one-way ticket in my hot little hand And I'm kissing your eyelids and I'm going to japan There's life and liberty on my tongue And there's a dead silence where the wind-chimes hung And on some mountain somewhere in the world it's snowing But here in the fields there's not a thing growing Maybe next year, ya know, there is a way of knowing There's wind coming in from all directions There's a coat on my shoulders--midnight connections And I'm kissing you and leaving you behind in the sand I'm holding you a while then I'm going to japan
