lyrics

Scott: You’re rolling…

Mike: OK. This is “Live in Japan.”

Generation D
Has taken hold of me
Inclinations toward mortality slowing
When I tried to get hired
I just got tired

The chicken soup for my soul
Is greasy and it’s cold
And the present is too distant a memory
I need some turbulence
Jump a fence into a new world

I’ll live in Japan
Maybe you don’t care
I wish I could go there in a van and
Live in Japan
I’ll take me a yo-yo
Some gum and a crossbow and a fan and
Live in Japan

Won’t you come with me?
I’ll bounce you on my knee
In a home under the stars by the river
Nothin’ on our feet
Oh it’ll be sweet, we’ll be dancing

We’ll live in Japan
Revel in our otherness
Skeletal and brotherless and oh man, we’ll
live in Japan
Startgazing in wonder
Silencing thunder with one hand
You and me in Japan

Well we came from the bubble-ohs and now we are all
Everflowing, only knowing, we heed the call
And the heavens fall
And all of y’all have helped me to stand
From my friends at the Potato to my friends in Japan
I wanna eat life, I wanna taste all of this
Eat life, body stronger from all the bliss
Heart wide open and I’m heady and ready
Got a date to modulate so help me out, Bob Tedde

Live in Japan
Maybe you don’t care
I wish I could go there in a van and
live in Japan
I’ll take me a yo-yo
Some gum and a crossbow and a fan and
Live in Japan

Live in Japan
Live in Japan
Live in Japan

This recording makes a great workout companion! All tracks exercise my mind while I'm power walking the hills where I live in Massachusetts. Keeps the feet moving for my daily 3 miles. Thank you MFTJ and all Keneally music. rondidonato

I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi
