An honourable man picks a slender orchid
And crushed it between his hands
The sacred knife of a Samurai
Serves up Sushi in a sandwich bar
A doll that's made in Japan
Is made for every man
A doll that's made in Japan
Is made for every man
Tigerlily with eyes of jade
Takes you to a carnival of toy balloons
See a kite floating by with the face of a Chinese mandarin
It's such a different world it's hard to remember
Which land you're in
I seem to recall a milk white hand
Painted with blood red fingernails
A doll that's made in Japan
Is made for every man
A doll that's made in Japan
Is made for every man
A tiny girl with empty hands
Walks the streets of Tokyo
A doll that's made in Japan
Is made for every man
A doll that's made in Japan
Is made for every man
As you fly through a city of empty souls
You feel that the wind is whispering
Steve Hackett (born Stephen Richard Hackett on October 12, 1951) is a British guitarist, singer, and composer widely recognized as one of the leading figures in progressive rock. Starting to play guitar at the age of seven, he gained recognition for his technical and melodic prowess. In 1971, he joined Genesis, replacing Anthony Phillips, contributing to the band's sound with a more instrumental and virtuosic approach. With Genesis, he recorded eight highly successful albums, including "Selling England by the Pound", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", and "A Trick of the Tail".

Among his most notable albums are "Spectral Mornings", "Voyage of the Acolyte", and "Defector". Hackett continues to record and perform worldwide, maintaining a loyal fanbase thanks to his impeccable guitar technique and ability to create evocative atmospheres.
