Late last night I got an S. O. S. 

The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress 

She says I don't know where I am 

But it's near Japan 



My engine's all burned out 

My crew has all bailed out 

I don't know where I am 

But it's somewhere near Japan 



And she said 

"Rescue me" 

I'm somewhere in the 

China Sea 

I think I'm sinkin' fast 

This call is probably my last 

I'm throwin' out a life line 

And I'm doin' it for old time's sake 

Though I know you're gonna break my heart 

One more time 



Late last night I got an S. O. S. 

The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress 

She says I don't know where I am 

But it's near Japan 



My engine's all burned out 

My crew has all bailed out 

I don't know where I am 

But it's somewhere near Japan 



And she said "thank you dear" 

I think she sounded quite sincere 

And when she turned to go 

She said "I crave adventure don't you know" 



And now she's driftin' on some Chinese junk 

Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk 

So I close my eyes 

And somewhere near Japan 

The spinning stopped and the world stood still 

I broke her fall and I always will 

Strung out in no man's land 

Somewhere near Japan 

Rescue me
