Born in a Rice Field

Gather round ya space-faring souls A tale of fire and flight be told With engines bright as a dragon’s breath We sail through the void defying death Heave ho to the stars we go Set the course where the red winds blow With Captain Musk at the helm so grand We’ll build a new home on Martian sand Through the vacuum of space Past the moon at a galactic pace Thousands strong in stainless steel ships Just the thought will stiffen your nips Heave ho to the stars we go Set the course where the red winds blow Through cosmic tides and astral waves We sail to Mars the bold and brave Asteroids crash and the comets fly Space X rockets burn and kiss the sky Satellite dishes in constellations We forge a new world cosmic stations Captain Musk will we make it through? Aye my lads we’ve much to do! Will the Martian M"lady be kind and fair? We shall see when we make it there! Civilized flourish where none have stood Out from the ghetto, out from the hood A shining dome a beacon bright Even the blind say what a sight. Heave ho to the stars we go Set the course where the red winds blow Raise your glass and sing with cheer For Mars is ours we live right here Raise the mast fire the thrusters onward we go

Verse 1 Up in them mountains, where the stars kiss the clay, Hoshinomoorah’s where I labored that day. Knee-deep in rice, frogs croakin’ so near, Birthed my sweet babe with the mud ‘round my ears. Chorus Oh, rice field darlin’, born in the wet, Sushi’s my livin’, no regrets met. Back home they’ll reckon I’ve lost my way, Gave life in Japan, come what may. Verse 2 No doc, no shelter, just the sky overhead, Village gals hummed while my labor was led. Crane flew by slow, in the dusk’s soft glow, Brought my child forth where them paddies grow. Bridge Ain’t no city noise, just the earth and the calm, Hills held me steady, like a sweet old psalm. Born to this wild, far from all I’d known, Found my roots here, in a land of my own. Chorus Oh, rice field darlin’, born in the wet, Sushi’s my livin’, no regrets met. Back home they’ll reckon I’ve lost my way, Gave life in Japan, come what may. Outro This is my tale, from them hills so grand, A rice field birth in this far-off land. Let ‘em jaw back home, I don’t mind none,

Chorus Oh, rice field darlin’, born in the wet, Sushi’s my livin’, no regrets met. Back home they’ll reckon I’ve lost my way, Gave life in Japan, come what may. Verse 2 A tranny rolled in, turned my world to a fight, Stole my money, tried quittin’ life’s light. Cops hauled ‘em off to Fukuoka’s door, Now Tokyo’s got that psychic’s lore. Bridge Village folks whisper ‘bout the shame that was sown, Hate runs deep for the thief I’d known. Ain’t no tears shed when they up and fled, Just me and my baby where the rice fields spread.

got me waiting for another line in this story flipping pages waiting for the plot twist but there hasn"t been one Waiting for some sort of pit fall but i"m yet to even see any signs of them you treat me so well you have me on the side of a cliff waiting for the drop but i"m met with Hands on my waist holding me from the edge minds intertwined able to tell the simple from the difficult i"m unable to tell what"s a dream what"s real but you stand out like sun flares in the corner of my eye Blinding yet just perfect golden rAys across your face that night was like fantasy of my dreams wait so long to bond we bonded in the meantime that night was like anything i had felt the passion was fire in my veins ready to combust like gasoline

[Verse] They wave that maple flag so high, Swear it's all they hang or buy, But when the world shut down and closed, They cheered on lines and masks from coast to coast. [Verse 2] Talking 'bout local, pure and sweet, Till the lockdown pulled the rug from their feet, Preaching online ‘bout doing right, But shopping on screens to get through the night. [Chorus] Oh, what a show they put on, Shouting, "True North, strong so long," Yet they're ordering from far and wide, Maple Leaf Irony, they can't hide. [Verse 3] Supporting stores they say they love, While shipping imports from above, Can't have it both ways, don't you see? Hypocrisy dressed in red and leaves. [Bridge] They rave about the farmer's stand, But can’t help ordering from other lands, Saying "Buy local, it’s the way," Then clicking "Add to Cart" every day. [Verse 4] Critics about the world outside, Yet they’re the ones who stay inside, Cheering for laws that keep us down, Then missing the local store downtown.

Well, I got a little dog, he’s low to the ground, Short little legs but he’s fast runnin’ ‘round. He’s got floppy ears and a tail that wags, Chasin’ them squirrels with a nose like a mag. Oh, he’s a little long dog, wiggly and free, Runnin’ through the yard like a dog should be. With a heart so big and a bark so loud, My dachshund’s king, and he’s mighty proud! He may be small, but he’s got big dreams, Diggin’ up holes and stealin’ my jeans. Jumps on the couch when he knows he’s not allowed, But one puppy look, and I can’t stay mad now. Oh, he’s a little long dog, wiggly and free, Runnin’ through the yard like a dog should be. With a heart so big and a bark so loud, My dachshund’s king, and he’s mighty proud! Some folks say he’s just too small, But he’ll stand up tall when he hears me call. Guardin’ the house like a big ol’ hound, Nothin’ gets by when he’s sniffin’ around! When the day is done, and the sun’s goin’ down, He curls up tight, makes a sleepy sound. Dreamin’ ‘bout treats and chasin’ that cat, My little long dog, yeah, he’s all that! Oh, he’s a little long dog, wiggly and free, Runnin’ through the yard like a dog should be. With a heart so big and a bark so loud, My dachshund’s king, and he’s mighty proud! So if you see a sausage dog struttin’ along, Sing him this tune, it’s his favorite song!

[Verse 1] She walks in like she owns the place, Chin up high, never out of grace. Thinks she’s always right, never wrong, You better agree, or she’ll prove you strong! Her laughter rings, but shadows loom, With every smile, she seals your doom. [Chorus] Oh, the Red-Faced Queen, here she goes, Raising her voice, everyone knows! Temper’s hot like the midday sun, Better step back before she’s done! [Verse 2] Talks so big, like she’s the best, No one else can pass her test. If you dare to disagree, She’ll stare you down, just wait and see! With a flick of her hair, she takes command, Words sharp as daggers, her own brand. [Chorus] Oh, the Red-Faced Queen, here she goes, Turning red from head to toes! Hands on hips, fire in her eyes, Storm’s coming, no surprise! [Bridge] Maybe one day she’ll calm down, But until then, she runs this town. Just don’t cross her, take my word, Or she’ll scream till she’s overheard! [Chorus] Oh, the Red-Faced Queen, here she goes, Raising her voice, everyone knows! Temper’s hot like the midday sun, Better step back before she’s done!
