The Backyard Of My Life
Confessions Of A Japanese Jailbird
Yuki was a ninja warrior
From little Tokyo
Her sister was murdered
With a samurai sword in a Shanghai surprise
Blood written in the snow
The robots were ready to strike
Yuki was taken away
Kept in chains
Never to be seen again
In the cold light of day
Yoshi was a little old yogi
Guru keeper of knowledge
Knew that yuki was framed
Made a list of enemies who needed to be named
Yuki behind bars begs for a phone call
The guard says she must stand back turn to face the brick wall
While they beat her to teach her the rules
Cant stand you to be clever
But they hate you if your one of the fools
While investigating the Haitian zombie
Yoshi crossed the path of the midnight sun
Took down a cyborg with a flower in a gun
Before the road disintegrated in to dust
After being left for dead wasn't so sure who to trust
Meanwhile the machines
Destroy more and more dreams
Poison and pollute the sky
They can not feel they do not cry
They build a city in the clouds
With a serpent and the rainbow
They keep from you what they don't want you to know
Yuki is surrounded by the sisters of the rising dawn
When the warden said make her wish she was dead
And that she'd never been born
Yuki was a black belt and dealt them a lesson in manners
With a flying kick like a flash of light
Her hands cut through the warden
To the rail road hitchhiking jailbreak after midnight
Yoshi was deep in mantra mesmerized in mind
Thinking about the robots the blind leading the blind
Looking for a long lost scripture a prophecy from the past
A destiny for yuki set in motion the stone is cast
In a battle between a laser beams
Yuki and a million machines
The future of the fate of the world was fought
In a nuclear explosion through the acid rain
Yuki the oriental princess broke free from the chain
To bring to and end the rise and fall of the madman machines
