If you're huntin'
for Japonica
(it is a place in fact),
it's like lookin for a needle
in
the proverbial haystack
Ya see its just a spot in the road
that never
made the map,
you can fly right past it
then haveta circle back
When
you drive up to it
you still ain't sure it's found,
'cause it's just a
country cemetery
and not really a town
Though your expectations were
something
much more than this,
finding ole Japonica
is still well worth the trip
So quit the car and get on foot
and take a walk around,
the stories
tole upon these stones
make this a hallowed ground
Onc't your done
you'll realize
you'll have to change your mind,
Japonica's the perfect
place
to pass a little time.
