[Chorus 1]
Late last night I got an S. O. S
The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress
She says I don't know where I am
But it's near Japan

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 1]
And she said
"Rescue me
I'm somewhere in the
China Sea
I think I'm sinking 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

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
And now she's drifting on some Chinese junk
Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk
So I close my eyes
And 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
