(It`s a) Big World — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Looking over Hong Kong Harbour
Throw a shrimp in yellow wine
Eat it when it ceases moving
Just before is fine too
There`s an ancient Chinese saying
Always seems to slip my mind
Does it really die with honour
Does it really matter
It`s a big world - so much to do

Sitting on a beach in Bali
Tried to reach and grab a cloud
Looked so much like cotton candy
And I`m feeling God-like
Could it be just what I`m eating
Only mushrooms after all
And with juice of avocado
I should live forever

It`s a big world - so much to see much

Sitting on the floor in Kyoto
Marvel at the latest catch
Eat it as soon as you are able
Quick before they cook it
There`s an eyeball staring at me
And I know I`ve met my match
Do I eat or am I eaten
It`s a new adventure
It`s a big world - so much to do
It`s a big world - so much to see

From the Leningradsky Prospekt
On the road to Mandalay
There`s a new intoxication
Hits you just as you`re leaving
CafГ© sur Les Champs-ElysГ©es
Baklava in Istanbul
Smoke a pipe in Casablanca
Question all you believe in
It`s a big world - so much to do
It`s a big world - so much to see
And plenty of room for me and you
