Don’t I Know You From Somewhere

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I were a sushi roll Traversing through a Japanese kitchen I would be mostly fascinated By the people there Their welcoming arms And their strange voices Their fingers flying around Immersed in conversation I would like to ask them a question [Refrain] "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "Don't I know you from somewhere?" [Verse 2] They would be too busy to answer me Too hungry and happy with their lives Busy soaking up the atmosphere And this restaurant with pictures of slinky fish On the wall The sharp sound of knives And the smell of soy and ginger Still in their nostrils [Verse 3] I would be in awe of their breath Their breath, their breath I could hardly wait To be lifted into their mouths And get broken in two And lie there melting Somewhere between The sadness of their tongue and teeth [Refrain] "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "Don't I know you from somewhere?"
