lyrics

I'm waiting for the avalanche to begin
I'm waiting for the Ice Age from my hallway
I'm waiting to hear the whispers of my neighbors
Between the children, through the brick walls cracks
Because they saw when that rock cracked against my forehead
And they saw electric sparks around where I bled
I wrapped it up, and hurried to the doctor, crying "What's wrong with me?"
And when he saw, he said, "My God--
You're a machine"

Japan, Japan
You took my dream away
Japan, Japan
You owe me big
'Cause you let me think
I'm an ordinary girl like anyone
With a boyfriend who I'm allowed to love
But not anymore
'Cause of what I'm made of

So I'm singing alone about the time before we knew
Back when you said you'd never
Leave me for some other girl with eyes more blue
Then you kissed me, and my
Digital heart skipped a beat in perfect sync
With every crosswalk sign and stoplight in the street
But then today I told you what I am
So you hit me in the face, called me an empty tin can
Now tonight I'll leave my broken home
To go and try to find some other town, where folks will
Leave me alone

Japan, Japan
You took my dream away
Japan, Japan
You owe me big
'Cause you crammed
An analog heart in a microchip
With batteries and wire to carry it
You should have known it would never fit

You should have known it would never fit

You should have known
