East Meets West - Jane Wiedlin

I spent my last one thousand yen

That’s four dollars, cowboys

On a Clint Eastwood tape

And sped across this eastern land

In a silver bullet train

Listening all the way

To the soundtrack of a western I’d never seen

And I came to this conclusion

East meets west and it goes bang

It’s all so foreign to me, well

East meets west and it is split worse

It is so foreign to me

I have heard tall, tall tales

On longhorns raised on sake

While somewhere on another range

Indians go thirsty

East meets west and it goes bang

It’s all so foreign to me, well

East meets west and it is split worse

It is so foreign to me

I’m a cowgirl in a shrine

Where they applaud eight million gods

Eight million folks watch Solid Gold

That’s what they cheer where I come from

East meets west and it goes bang

It’s all so foreign to me, well

East meets west

It’s all foreign

I’m a cowgirl in a shrine

Where they applaud eight million gods

Eight million folks watch Solid Gold

That’s what they cheer where I come from

East meets west and it goes bang

It’s all so foreign to me well

East meets west

It’s so foreign to me

Higashi to nishiga atano

Higashi ga nishini

A ta noyo

Higashi to nishiga atano

Coco wagaikoko

Higashi ga nishini

(East meets west)

A ta noyo

(It is so foreign to me)

East meets west and it goes bang

It’s all so foreign to me

East meets west it is split worse

It is so foreign to me

East meets west and it goes bang

It’s all so foreign to me

East meets west it is split worse

It’s so foreign to me
