We went to a Japanese restaurant The dogs, the kids, and me Lose my cares In a cup of plum wine And salads from the sea We tripped into the calm little Room With the sliding paper walls Mom was wearin’ her rose kimono She was waiting for the fall Just another night A day in the life Just another foreign film In black and white When you mess with them You’re out of the realm of Zen When they put on their party Hats The cook cracked, yeah yeah yeah The cook, he told me “Children not exactly well Behaved” I said, “Well, you can’t have it all” And really, who cares When the magic plum wine Is dancing on the paper walls? Then your lover shows up Puts a sweet hello on your lips And you’re transported To the mist on the mountain Till everyone runs in for the kiss Don’t you know It’s just another night A day in the life Just another foreign film In black and white When you mess with them You’re beyond the realm of Zen When they put on their party Hats The cook cracked, yeah yeah yeah Did that ever happen to you? As the wine descended My citizenship surrendered And I became a geisha I moved through the mystery Dark and content With an uppity feminist bent Mr. Cook, don’t you save my life Don’t you save my love I am quite contented, yes, sir The elders say Kids are grown and gone Someday So let’s enjoy the adventure I’m sorry But it’s just another night A day in the life Waitress, do you remember us? As you can see, the situation is still a little out of control, But I haven’t had a cigarette—it’s amazing—in five years. But you know, for five years, I’ve been very hungry. I’m sorry But it’s just another night and day
