Correct Japanese Restaurant Lyrics

Lyrics:

We went to a Japanese restaurant, the dogs, the kids and me
Lose my cares in a cup of plum wine and salads from the sea
We tripped into the calm little room with the sliding paper walls
Mom was wearin' her rose kimono, she was waiting for the fall

Just another night, a day in the life
Just another foreign film in black and white
When you mess with them, you're out of the realm of Zen
When they put on their party hats
The cook cracked, yeah, yeah, yeah

The cook, he told me, "Children not exactly well behaved"
I said, "Well, you can't have it all" and really, who cares
When the magic plum wine is dancing on the paper walls?
Then your lover shows up, puts a sweet hello on your lips
And you're transported to the mist on the mountain
'Til everyone runs in for the kiss

Don't you know it's just another night, a day in the life?
Just another foreign film in black and white
When you mess with them, you're out of the realm of Zen
When they put on their party hats
The cook cracked, yeah, yeah, yeah

Did that ever happen to you?

As the wine descended, my citizenship surrendered
And I became a geisha, I moved through the mystery
Dark and content with an uppity feminist bent
Mr. Cook, don't you save my life, don't you save my love
I am quite contented, yes, sir

The elders say, kids are grown and gone someday
So, let's enjoy the adventure
I'm sorry but it's just another night, a day in the life

Waitress, do you remember us?
As you can see, the situation is still a little out of control
But I haven't had a cigarette, it's amazing, in five years
But you know, for five years, I've been very hungry

I'm sorry
But it's just another night and day
