Lyric discussion by ProfW 

Cover art for Japanese Buffalo lyrics by Cage the Elephant

One two three four five six

There was a guy And his name was Johnny B. The loudest man in the land

Alright, okay, alright, okay, alright, okay, uh huh

How many times you cross the line Run for days with eager eyes Screaming smile left alone Those crazy things you do

In the forest of your mind Haunted by a loss of time Feet stuck frozen in the snow Those crazy things you do

Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh

Alright, okay, alright, okay, alright, okay, uh huh

Japanese from head to toe And green to red, red to gold Waiting on the buffalo Those crazy things you do

Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh Shame Shame Shame Oh oh oh oh oh

Run it over my skin Like a cheap plastic knife In your heart and your mind Put it always aside Do it over again Till it cuts to the bone We can play by the rules Or just leave it alone

It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame That your heart turned to stone That your heart turned to stone

Run it over my skin Like a cheap plastic knife In your heart and your mind Put it always aside Do it over again Till it cuts to the bone We can play by the rules Or just leave it alone

It's a shame It's a shame It's a shame

Forgot the second part of the second verse:

In my God I see it there Ah ha ha , oh ho ho Hard to see in sand and snow Those crazy things you do
