Late last night

I got an SOS

The fairytale girl's

in deep distress

She says, I don't know where I am

But it's near Japan

My engine's all burned out

My crew has all bailed out

I don't know where I am

But it's somewhere near Japan

And she said,

Rescue me, I'm somewhere

in the China Sea

I think I'm sinkin' fast

This call is probably my last

I'm throwing out a life line

And I'm doing it

for old time's sake

Though I know you're gonna

break my heart one more time

Late last night

I got an SOS

The fairytale girl's

in deep distress

She says, I don't know where I am

But it's near Japan

My engine's all burned out

My crew has all bailed out

I don't know where I am

But it's somewhere near Japan

And she said,

Thank you dear, I think she sounded

quite sincere

And when she turned to go

She said, I crave adventure

Don't you know

And now she's trippin'

on some Chinese junk

Her world is spinning

and her hope has sunk

So I close my eyes

And I'm somewhere near Japan

The spinning stopped

and the world stood still

I broke her fall

and I always will

Strung out in no man's land

Somewhere near Japan

Rescue me
