Do you remember how we met?
Paying off our student debt
We had no other plans
So we taught English in Japan
Leave your friends and family
Fly an aeroplane across the sea
Knowing not a soul, not even me
Until you land
We were high
In the streets of Fukuyama we were high
We could do just what we wanted
Two white ghosts
In a strange land
Teaching English in Japan
Back home I might not like you
Back home you would have hated me
When they said we would change, we
We did not believe
But here on this strange island
Among the skyscrapers and neon
We see each other and we're turned on
And now we don't want to leave
We could hide
In the streets of Fukuyama we could hide
We could do just what we wanted
Two white ghosts
In a strange land
Teaching English in Japan
