A Japanese Dream Lyrics
I'm going back to the land of the blind
Back to the land where the sun never shines
I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find
Everything just as it was before
I left it all behind
I slept at nights there hysterically
Twisted and turned
But I just couldn't get free
Opened my eyes
But I still couldn't see
But I could feel her...
China white girl
So I get down on the floor
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Mmmmmm...
That was a Japanese dream alright
The sound of the storm
And the flickering light
And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like...
Like her scent used to fill up the night
So I get down on the floor
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Just look at me now
Just look at me this way
It looks like I am quite insane
It looks like I am trying to eat off my face
It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway...
Back where the sun never shines
Back to the land of the blind
Back in a Japanese dream
Back to the land where the sun never shines
I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find
Everything just as it was before
I left it all behind
Twisted and turned
But I just couldn't get free
Opened my eyes
But I still couldn't see
But I could feel her...
China white girl
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
That was a Japanese dream alright
The sound of the storm
And the flickering light
And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like...
Like her scent used to fill up the night
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Just look at me this way
It looks like I am quite insane
It looks like I am trying to eat off my face
It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway...
Back to the land of the blind
Back in a Japanese dream

actually, to me it sounds like a heroin addiction...the "japenese dream" is the high...and when he come out he goes back to the "land of the blind" anyhow...and the "china white" reference
I'm pretty sure that this song is about an addiction, and the "china white girl" is actually the heroin. The lyrics talk about the heroin effects ..."I get down on the floor like I am praying to the lord, burning like a monkey".. On the other hand, I really don't imagine Robert as an addict...he's so Robet!
It sounds like something from world war 2, when they put every Japanese person in an internment camp. this band put a lot of emotion into there music. When u read it u become part of it.
this is obviously about drugs.
Not sure what a japanese dream is. I read somewhere that Smith said something really vague about it being something that happened to him while he was recording The Glove album. Whatever - it's a bouncy, catchy song.
Hints of heroin dancing on playful beats, yet destined for B-side and Kiss-tour jam. Similar to The Big Hand, but fruitier and before the road turned dark.
In my opinion is about giving oral sex to a woman
