Ballard Oh Jim, We can’t get enough of him In The Empire of the Sun He was on the run Captured by the Japanese For far more than a year and a day. Oh, Jim, Please tell me your secret: How did you become the pet Of so many women? Was it their kindness? Or just sheer blindness? Oh Jim, Please invite me to your next bash. We could have a car crash Together. (I’ve always seen the erotic potential of that). Jim, Please let me visit your Concrete Island It’s much better than Thailand At this time of year. Please let me be the one To share your Empire of the Sun.
