The full moon sits on top of another sky scraper
And I am the furthest that I have ever been from home.
The people bow here.
I said that I would never bow before anybody again
But I find myself doing the same thing.

They do not understand my English
but they don’t seem to understand that anywhere.
Maybe it is just me.
Outside the hotel sits the Eiffel tower but a smaller one
And all the buildings look like stepping stones for giants.

I got lost yesterday
but then again
I have always felt that way.
