Burning Airlines Give You So Much More |
When I got back home I found a message on the door |
Sweet Regina’s gone to China crosslegged on the floor |
Of a burning jet that’s smoothly flying: |
Burning airlines give you so much more |
How does she intend to live when she’s in far Cathay? |
I somehow can’t imagine her just planting rice all day |
Maybe she will do a bit of spying |
With micro-cameras hidden in her hair |
I guess Regina’s on the plane, a Newsweek on her knees |
While miles below her the curlews call from strangely stunted trees |
The painted sage sits just as though he’s flying; |
Regina’s jet disturbs his wispy beard |
When you reach Kyoto send a postcard if you can |
And please convey my fond regards to Chih-Hao's girl Yu-Lan |
I heard a rumour they were getting married |
But someone left the papers in Japan |
Left them in Japan, left them in Japan… |
