Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl´s in deep in distress
She says I don´t know where I am
But it´s near Japan

My engine´s all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don´t know where I am
But it´s somewhere near Japan

And she said
"Rescue me"
I´m somewhere in the
China Sea
I think I´m sinkin´ fast
This call is probably my last
I´m throwin´ out a life line
And I´m doin´ it for old time´s sake
Though I know you´re gonna break my heart
One more time

Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl´s in deep in distress

She says I don´t know where I am
But it´s near Japan

My engine´s all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don´t know where I am
But it´s somewhere near Japan

And she said "thank you dear"
I think she sounded quite sincere
And when she turned to go
She said "I crave adventure don´t you know"

And now she´s driftin´ on some Chinese junk
Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk
So I close my eyes
And somewhere near Japan
The spinning stopped and the world stood still

I broke her fall and I always will
Strung out in no man´s land
Somewhere near Japan
Rescue me
