Japan Is An Island Lyrics

Atari, Joey, Jeffery,
The dog got out when I was playing Atari
Atari, Joey, Jeffery,
They died while I was playing Atari

Japan is an island way across the sea,
I've never been there but I heard of the scenery,
They assimilate the cultures to make their stuff
And Cornelious is a popstar

I can save my game, save my life

Atari, with me, baby, come on,
We can do it while I'm playing Atari
Atari, baby, Ho Shi no T
Don't stop girl I'm playin Atari

I can save my game,
Can I save my life?

For relax, for refresh, for relax, for refresh, for relax, for refresh...
World culture to Japan, World culture to Japan...

I can save my game, save my life

I thought it was funny when you interrup-
-ted me the first time but I now I think it's getting old,
Just like you and me I still see,
That Cornelious is a Popstar

I can save my game, save my life

Atari, with me, baby,
Come on, we can do it while I'm playing Atari,
Atari, baby, Ho Shi no T
Shut up you know I'm playing Atari

I could save my game, can you save my life?

one of the best songs ever

The only thing that always bothered me about this song - You can't save games on Atari.

Also, the "For relax..." part, I believe, marks Albert's only appearance on the album, at least vocally.

"Atari, with me, baby, come on, we can do it while I'm playing Atari..." What is "it"?

I don't think "save my game" means to save it so you can come back later... I think it means to salvage it, as it not lose.

haha I have no idea what the hell this song is about, but I think it's a catchy little ditty...the guitar intro sounds a little like a slowed-down version of right, here, right now by jesus jones. but yeah, I like the video too.

'"Atari, with me, baby, come on, we can do it while I'm playing Atari..." What is "it"?' -pinkTea

I'm assuming sex. As in, "Hey, wanna do it?", etc.

This song rules.

This song is about wasting life playing video games. Can't even put down the controller when your girlfriend wants to bang!

the line "Atari, baby, Hershey, nutty," is supposed to read "Atari, baby, ho shi no t"

ho shi no t- add a t to the end of ho and shi and you get "hot shit"

get it?

Yeah, I think this song is about not growing up and escaping reality to the point where it's ruining your life. Metaphor, kids. Metaphor.

i think this song is about being an asshole who needs a life.

My Interpretation

in a major way.

yes, this song is most definitely about an idiot i was friends with for a few weeks who has no clue what she's talking about. because she read a book. a book she doesn't understand in the least. oh that awkward moment where you should only talk about things you actually understand.
