Citizens! - Xmas Japan lyrics

Merry Christmas from Japan Walking the streets with a drink in my hand And the snowfall at my feet How I hope that your work has brought you some peace Merry Christmas from Japan Nobody here has a clue how I am Oh, I wonder if you'll ever, ever know How I've tried to reach you, tried to reach you You don't know me I threw a bottle out to sea That's a message that you'll never, ever read Washed straight back with the trash on Venice Beach Merry Christmas from L.A. I said I'd return but you told me to say Haven't had much luck so far But I've been to the hills and I've borrowed a car Merry Christmas from the stars Nobody here has a clue who you are Oh, I wonder if you'll ever, ever know How I've tried to reach you, tried to reach you (She says) You don't know me I threw a bottle out to sea That's a message that you'll never, ever read Washed straight back with the trash on Venice Beach Is it lonely where you are? Are your feet as cold as ever? As you trip the light fantastic are you fearful of the stars? I guess it wouldn't help to know If I'd spent the night alone I could have found a phone and called you up to say: Merry Christmas from Japan Merry Christmas from Japan Merry Christmas wherever you are
