(it's A) Big World Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Looking over Hong Kong harbor 

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 honor 

Does it really matter 

It's a big world 

It's a big world, so much to see 

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 

It's a big world, so much to do 

Sitting on the floor in Kyoto 

Marvel at the latest catch 

Eat it 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 

Caf sur les Champs Elyses 

Baklava in Istanbul 

Smoke a pipe in Casablanca 

Question all you believe in 

It's a big world, so much to see 

It's a big world, so much to do 

And plenty of room for me and you
