A young Japanese fisherman was killed br by a cloud at sea. br I heard this song from his friends, br one lurid yellow evening on the Pacific. br br Those who eat the fish we caught, die. br Those who touch our hands, die, br This ship is a black coffin, br you'll die if you come up the gangplank. br br Those who eat the fish we caught, die, br not straight away, but slowly, br slowly their flesh rots, falls off. br Those who eat the fish we caught, die. br br Those who touch our hands, die. br Our loyal, hardworking hands br washed by salt and sun. br Those who touch our hands, die, br not straight away, but slowly, br slowly their flesh rots, falls off. br Those who touch our hands, die. br br Almond Eyes, forget me. br This ship is a black coffin, br you'll die if you come up the gangplank. br The cloud has passed over us. br br Almond Eyes, forget me. br Don't hug me my darling, br you'll catch death from me. br Almond Eyes, forget me. br br This ship is a black coffin. br Almond Eyes, forget me. br The child you have from me br will be rotten from a rotten egg. br This ship is a black coffin. br This sea is a dead sea.
