The Japanese Fisherman

A young Japanese fisherman was killed by a cloud at sea.

I heard this song from his friends, one lurid yellow evening on the Pacific.

Those who eat the fish we caught, die.

Those who touch our hands, die,

This ship is a black coffin, you'll die if you come up the gangplank.

Those who eat the fish we caught, die, not straight away, but slowly, slowly their flesh rots, falls off.

Those who eat the fish we caught, die.

Those who touch our hands, die.

Our loyal, hardworking hands washed by salt and sun.

Those who touch our hands, die, not straight away, but slowly, slowly their flesh rots, falls off.

Those who touch our hands, die.

Almond Eyes, forget me.

This ship is a black coffin, you'll die if you come up the gangplank.

The cloud has passed over us.

Almond Eyes, forget me.

Don't hug me my darling, you'll catch death from me.

Almond Eyes, forget me.

This ship is a black coffin.

Almond Eyes, forget me.

The child you have from me will be rotten from a rotten egg.

This ship is a black coffin.

This sea is a dead sea.

Human beings, where are you?

Where are you?
