Mama-San
as recorded on Talking to Henry (2020)

Mama-San, please listen
‘Cause your pillow willow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ world
Not such a great place for such a great girl

Mama-Sama, no I don’t understand
How she brings the clouds and the rain to such a man
Just on your command, no I don’t understand
No I don’t know. I domo, I do
And wani wika wa to you too [konnichi wa]
Whatever that means to you.

Little Samurai, killer look now in your eye
You say you don’t care if you have to die
But why, why, why?
The sword slash the shoji wall
And you, my Love, are above it all
And as your tearoom bursts into flames
And your smile remains unchained, unchained.

It just occurred to me, you’ve never been free.
Come with me! Come with me!
Be strong! Be free! Come with me!

Mama-San why won’t you listen?
‘Cause your pillow willow ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ world
Not such a great place for such a great girl
Except when your in my world.
