Intro:
Gm D# twice
Gm D#
I know what you're all wondering
Gm Gm
Have Tripod ever been to Japan
D#
But you're ignoring a much bigger question
A#
Why don't the Japanese have a space program
D#
Why aren't there any Japanese astronauts
A# F# G#
Have you ever seen a Japanese astronau________t
C
I'll tell you why you haven't seen one
D#
I'll tell you why
A# F D# Gm
You can't do the Japanese Tea Ceremony when you're an astronaut
F
It's those damn fat gloves
A# F D# Gm
And you can't do the Japanese Tea Ceremony when you're in zero grav
F
Cos the tea goes everywhere
Gm
The tea goes everywhere
Gm D#
Japanese culture's always fanscinated me
Gm
From their traditions to their modern way of life
D#
But all their elegance and rich history
A#
Doesn't sit well with my interest in space
A# F D# Gm
Because you can't carry out a ninja style assassination dressed as an astronaut
F
It's the luminous fabric (you're too visible)
A# F D# Gm
And they don't let you use a samurai sword when you're an astronaut
F
You might puncture the suit
Gm
You might depressurize
F Gm F#
Like a gremlin in a microwa_____ve
G# C#
But it's those damn fat gloves
F
They're the main problem
F# C#
You can't nurture your tamagotchi
F F#
You can't make an origami swan
G# A A#M D#
Have you ever tried to get a used panty vending machine into a space shuttle
D# C#
Well I've tried and they don't let you
F#
Fucking NASA red tape
Interlude:
Gm D# Gm D# A# D# A# D#
Gm D#
I couldn't reconcile the two things that I loved
Gm
So I threw away my dreams of outer space
D#
I had to find myself a whole new job
A#
Maybe in the sports arena I would find a place
A# F D# Gm
But you can't do a Japanese Tea Ceremony when you're a boxing champ
F
It's those damned fat gloves again
A# F D# Gm
Those confounded puffy mitts loom in front of my face every night in bed
F
I'm haunted by fat gloves
A#
You can't drink sake, you can't do bukkake
F
Or ride a Kawasaki
D# F#
When you're an astronaut
F#(let ring) G#(let ring)
And they don't let you be an astronaut on Japanese tele
A#(let ring)
Cos you're not enough of a red herring
