Lyrics East Meets West - Jane Wiedlin

East Meets West

I spent my last one thousand yen
That’s four dollars, cowboys
On a Clint Eastwood tape
And sped across this eastern land
In a silver bullet train
Listening all the way
To the soundtrack of a western I’d never seen
And I came to this conclusion
East meets west and it goes bang
It’s all so foreign to me, well
East meets west and it is split worse
It is so foreign to me
I have heard tall, tall tales
On longhorns raised on sake
While somewhere on another range
Indians go thirsty
East meets west and it goes bang
It’s all so foreign to me, well
East meets west and it is split worse
It is so foreign to me
I’m a cowgirl in a shrine
Where they applaud eight million gods
Eight million folks watch Solid Gold
That’s what they cheer where I come from
East meets west and it goes bang
It’s all so foreign to me, well
East meets west
It’s all foreign
I’m a cowgirl in a shrine
Where they applaud eight million gods
Eight million folks watch Solid Gold
That’s what they cheer where I come from
East meets west and it goes bang
It’s all so foreign to me well
East meets west
It’s so foreign to me
Higashi to nishiga atano
Coco wagaikoko
Higashi ga nishini
A ta noyo
Higashi to nishiga atano
Coco wagaikoko
Higashi ga nishini
(East meets west)
A ta noyo
(It is so foreign to me)
East meets west and it goes bang
It’s all so foreign to me
East meets west it is split worse
It is so foreign to me
East meets west and it goes bang
It’s all so foreign to me
East meets west it is split worse
It’s so foreign to me
