The moon hung like a shadow on a rung over shanghaiAnd the soldier boys were returning home screaming bonzai!And the kids are still playing their games,Getting hustled and rustled out in the rainAs I sat inside listening to the broadcast.Oh save my soul sweet rock and roll ’cuz I’m sinking fast.And then the band played.(out of nowhere)(everybody)(everybody)Well now the legendary chaplain of the fighting 51stWas getting ready to go.I said padre do you know a cheap virgin who likes to tango? He said you can try linda lee;Around the corner and across the sea.Oh word is out, word is out she’s fast.Oh blow me down now linda, ’cuz I’m sinking fast.Yes and them cats are sure getting fat down in the trainyard.And the sandman brings them dreams they ship out in boxcars.The union says hold; break out the dice, break out the gold.It’s lunchtime at last.And old big mama said george raff’s tonight on the late show.She sits straddling the kitchen chair really gung-hoShe shivers with chills, wet with slotcar thrillsHypnotically lost in the glassAnd we all sighed...With the sunriseAs we watched the credits pass.And the little blue dot went away.And then the morning cloak fell down like a hoax over sleepytownAnd garbage truck big lenny’s out drinking the last roundHe hurriedly sipped his beer, and poking fun of the queerAnd threatened to kick his ass.And the bell rangAnd the horn blowsAnd he’s outside pumping gasBut things were moving so slow tonightSo the kid goes back inside the stationAnd turns on the radio to his local am stationAnd the band playedRight on the radioIt’s on the radioAnd he listened to the bass lineAnd the boys in the band sangWhoa, whoa whoa-woWhoa, whoa whoa-wo(they’re so excited about it)Whoa, whoa whoa-wo(everybody alright)Whoa, whoa whoa-wo(and the band played)Whoa, whoa whoa-wo(and the band played)Whoa, whoa whoa-wo(everybody)Whoa, whoa whoa-wo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
I went down to Australia,
With my rock 'n' roll band.
It's very hot in Australia,
Still I'm gonna do the best I can.
Still I'm going to Tokyo,
Somehow I've gotta go.
I've gotta go to oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
When I get to Tokyo,
I'm gonna see my girlfriend.
She gonna hold me so tight,
She gonna be my friend.
And when we have an argument,
She gonna tell me where to go.
"Why don't you get out and go to oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo"
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
I went to sushi bar,
I saw pretty Tokyo girl.
I had lots of sake, sake, sake,
Make me feel drunk, feel good.
I went for a drink with Road Hog and Romeo,
In oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Pretty soon,
I'm gonna fly away.
Me and my girlfriend,
We gonna come back some day.
When I fly back to England,
I'll think of all the people I know,
Way back in oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Tokyo.

Met this stranger there, so I was
feeling somewhat scared
when I vacationed in a land that I
didn't know that well
but all the ladies there were nice
the gentlemen politely out of line
I kept on thinking how I'd like
to spend some time
I couldn't make up my mind, still
waitin' for the right sign
I was down in Tokyo
livin' in hotel Imperial
Met this man, he was something
very strange
said he was a spy from somewhere
else way far away
he told me things about myself that
I could tell nobody else
passed this message on to me, said
spirits move in secrecy
I could almost read the man's mind
waitin' for the right sign
I really wanna know if I'm gonna go
live my life in Tokyo, live my life in
Tokyo
Tokyo, live my life in Tokyo
He passed this message on to me
said spirits move in secrecy
a double agent amnesty
an Ian Fleming mystery
I, I know I read the man's mind
I know I got the right sign
I really wanna know if I'm gonna go
live my life in Tokyo, live my life in
Tokyo
Tokyo, live my life in Tokyo
live my life in Tokyo, live my life in
Tokyo
Tokyo, live my life in Tokyo

Transistorised, and anodised
Chrome plated, squeaky clean
Oh Tokyo, oh Tokyo
Oh Tokyo I love you
You're trembling, you're choking
But you're magical to me
Oh Tokyo, oh Tokyo
Oh Tokyo I love you
Kimonos, and Geisha girls
From grade one, down to three
Oh Tokyo, oh Tokyo
Oh Tokyo I love you
Land of the rising sun
You have taken my heart away
With your beauty you nearly blinded me
In your beauty I want to stay
I bow to you with my heart
I think of you every day
When I dream you are there beside me
But when I waken you're far away
Perfection, in miniature
With tiny hands, smiling eyes
Oh Tokyo, oh Tokyo
Oh Tokyo I love you
Tokyo

There's a lot of sexy ladies
Millions who have babies
All that I've been looking for
Is one that's free
Got to go to Tokyo
It must be in their cooking
Or the way they bow to me
I find Japanese ladies irresistible
Take me on a fast train
Take me on a jet plane
Take me in a wizards chest

They're getting prepared to haul a car out of the river
Noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever
Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust
I'm thinking about the water down below and what got lost
Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams
Comic book violence and escaping steam
Grey suited business men pissing against the wall --
Cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motions car fall
Oh Tokyo -- I never can sleep in your arms
Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
Did you have to show me that accident scene
Didn't I get enough shaking up?
Still I'm gonna miss you...
Dragon of good fortune struggles with trickster fox
Energy and patience and the power of the buck
Tonight I'm flying headlong
To meet the dark red edge of dawn
I know somebody will be crying
And somebody will be gone
Oh Tokyo -- I never can sleep in your arms
Mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
Me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
Did you have to show me that accident scene
Didn't I get enough shaking up?

There's a lot of sexy ladies
Millions who have babies
All that I've been looking for
Is one that's free
Got to go to Tokyo
It must be in their cooking
Or the way they bow to me
I find Japanese ladies irresistible
Take me on a fast train
Take me on a jet plane
Take me in a wizards chest
Just take me there

I went where all the girls are beautiful
Golden hair and radiant smiles
Cocaine high
Oblivion to pain
It made me feel so inadequate
And insane for that feel good feelin'
High inside their helium, the trance made vapor
Feelin' grim and grimy
Oh, Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
Lonely ain't a word with me
It's absurd you see in crowded rooms
That's where it hits me
Splits me right in half, out spills the emptiness
No one wants to talk with someone cut in two
And actin' werewolf crazy hairdooed out of control
Would you like some company?
No thanks, I've had my fill today
Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
Oh no, Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
Oh, I wanna ride this party off in the sunset
It's a mystery to see that girl over there with the beer and the queer
Lookin' so debonair
And she don't care about this
It's looking so good, feelin' so fine
Motherfucker that I'd be cold chillin' in the place
Taste yes I've got it any more
Got the cold dinty moore and dental damns
Irish ham and rocket jam
Oh, Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
Oh no, Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
I don my fake fur feather Boa, just like Noah
Not tiger skin enough, fuckin' mackin
The clones ain't got no style just wait a while
Turn the dial and see my face
With cuties gettin' so much booty
It be my duty to, to rock this fucker like Stan Getz
Get your paws off my cigarettes so
I smoke Sherman, you German lookin' vermin, you're squirmin' now
Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
Oh no, Tokyo's not far enough
Away to where I wanna be today
Oh no, Tokyo's not far enough

I am Tokyo
I am here
I am blazing lights
On your street.
I'm an upstart
Bound to cross you
I'm the hypocrite
By your side
She won't forget
And I won't forget
And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we want out something
And where something heart
I am Tokyo
I am here
I am neon signs
On your street
I'm an army
Of winter vines
Marching over your countryside
And she won't forget
And I won't forget
And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we ruined something
And where something heart.
There's never enough time
Only, only
Glove off, something bridge.
Pin prick to the heart
Can it go
I meant every spark
And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we ruined something
And where something heart.
We're burning thru town
Like there's nothing to lose
Cause we something

Glossy pages picture foreign places

So sayonara

Baby's got a lot of baggage
It don't seem to matter, it don't seem to matter
Bought a ticket ro the mid-west, just for buisiness
but dismissed from the interest
it was a risk just for a mistress who was a hostess on the west-coast
Don't you see it in my eyes tonight-iiii-iiiight
Baby's got a lot of baggage
(Chorus)
Where do I have to go,
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo - Turn off the lights and let it go
Oh it's nice to meet you
きみたのしむ (Kimi Tanoshimu)
Tokyo, Tokyo - Pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll
Get that dynamite
Chicka-Boom on the down tonight
I never seem to get it right
But you can show me so politely
Now don't you see it in my eyes tonight-iiii-iiiight
Get that dynamite
(Chorus)
HEY! I come back to where you are (x2)
Get that dynamite
(Chorus) (x2)
HEY! I come back to where you are (x2)
Tooo-ooookyooooooooo-oo-oo-oooo
Tooo-ooookyooooooooo-oo-oo-oooo

This is how it ended in Tokyo:
Buildings rebuilt and billed to
Anyone dumb enough to be standing there
Thanksgiving day
Tossing, eating, wearing pigskin worn thin
Torn teethly like the scaredy cat sacred custom goes
Sweet chicken little eating lolli pox treats for turkey day
It's Salmonella City where we're worn thin
Ordered to work in working order
Bashful red shame and bold blue bruising whitey
Hiding in houses looking like aching smiling faces
And oh,
The comfortable forts we used to build with cushions and blankets
Matching a patched up pair like us
Apparently it's a given,
Given culture and all,
We will break things just to call them broken
Stained by this compulsion to ruin and name it art
(Arthur to Adults
"When you get caught between the moon and New York City..."
(Christopher Kane?)
Architects ache so they build
Some subdivisions no matter how much pain or planning,
No matter how much it matters,
Some ugly houses sprout up in rows
Look like structures of sad accidents and broken happy plans
We named the clever chimp that picked up the first tool Adam
We discovered we are really mostly just water
We pretend about a past to justify right now
We tell countless lies to make it through each day
Keep on runnin', little bunny
Keep on runnin'
All the Duracell sold during the super bowl
And my disease
Such an easy disease contagious as a yawn

We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally I know now what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
[Chorus:]
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics you'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort in what my mind can't comprehend
Finally I work out what it takes
It takes money and airplanes
[Chorus:]
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
[Chorus:]
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past
Leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass will be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves
Won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah ah)

Flew in Friday night
Twelve hours, my head felt tired
Couldn't stop for too long
Between here and oz, I knew we'd gone
A long way from our home
Cultural shock was stinger strong
It didn't matter 'cause for me
Adventure is what I need and so did she
'Stasia said "let's get wild"
I want to see the town and maybe find a place to dance and have a good time
'Cause Tony you see I've got needs if you please
How does it feel to be out here without a home
Y'all keep on moving 'til you find what you're searching
CHORUS
Friday night, I'm on the floor
I can't get enough but I want some more
I know we'll back another day
Dancing all night in Tokyo
Flash of light through the door
Just like a kid in a candy store
My favourite track, I have to stay
Dancing all night in Tokyo
As I thought, the venue was fine
The people were crazy, the people were high
You got to know about my friend called Alexis
He humped a ride here from Texas
State of mind, we all try
To do our best from time to time
So now we're here across the world
Still don't know where I belong
How does it feel to be out here without a home
Y'all keep on moving 'til you find what you're searching

You’re walking,
Walking slow.
But you gotta move fast,
In Tokyo.
You can’t believe your eyes,
You finally got here.
So many little red lights,
It’s so alive here.
Another broken heart,
Another town you must take in stride.
If home is where the heart is,
Then home is here.
Because love aint all you need,
You see my dear.
Another broken heart,
Another town you must take in stride.
Another broken heart,

If home is where the heart is
Then my heart is lost at sea
And I, I have built my palace
Where the sand and waters meet
I've been living on this island
I saw you pass me by
Calling out to me
Hope within your eyes
Love is an adventure
I'll take my chance on you, on you
Meet in France
Meet me in Mexico
Chinatown
Then off to Tokyo
It doesn't matter 'cause anywhere's perfect with you
City lights, colors of indigo
Sun or snow, don't matter where we go
It'll be perfect 'cause it's all amazing with you
Singing oh oh oh oh ohhhhh, oh oh oh oh ohhhh
Home is where the heart is
And my heart is in your hand
And you, you can build your kingdom
In the center of this life
And I, I'm stepping off this island
Never looking back
You're my only home
Meet in France
Meet me in Mexico
Chinatown
Then off to Tokyo
It doesn't matter 'cause anywhere's perfect with you
City lights, colors of indigo
Sun or snow, don't matter where I go
It'll be perfect 'cause it's all amazing with you
Singing oh oh oh oh ohhhhh, oh oh oh oh ohhhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhhhh, oh oh oh oh ohhhh
Santa Fe, Chile, Romania
Africa, then to Australia
It doesn't matter 'cause anywhere's perfect with you
Open skies,
Freedom is beautiful
Rain or shine
Don't matter where we go
It'll be perfect 'cause it's so incredibly true
Woahhhh
It'll be perfect 'cause it's so amazing with you
We're singing oh oh oh oh ohhhhh, oh oh oh oh ohhhh

I found a hiding place,
in Tokyo,
Or anywhere else you might know.
You are the place I found,
Wish I could stick around,
I found a hiding place,
In Tokyo.
Hiding away
Only to pass the day,
There is no time for more.
Light shines through you,
A smile that dares you to go on,
Just waiting for the sun,
Sit waiting for the sun.
I stayed in this small room
across from the dead
and shadows from the curtain
played across my bed
you led me out
into the warm summer air.
Hiding away
Only to pass the day,
There is no time for more.
Light shines through you,
A smile that dares you to go on,
Just waiting for the sun,
Sit waiting for the sun.
Light shines through you,

Warm and cold, you grab me down
You lift me with your magic, new and old
I know your way but I don't understand it
Steel and stone, a thousand years of history and future
Kodachrome
Are lazy beam's creating this illusion
I can leave any day
But you're always gonna stay on my mind
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
Sleepless nights, my eyes are open
But I must be dreaming, you and I
We play it cool but underneath we're steaming
You can run you can hide
But this roller-coaster ride never stops
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
She's gonna do it to you, she's gonna do it to you
Ohh, I can leave any day
But you're always gonna stay on my mind
And you can run you can hide
But this roller-coaster ride never stops
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you
High and low, she's gonna do it to you
Tokyo, you've got the rhythm in you

Spin spin spin in the office chair
I cannot think so I sit and stare
Blink blink blink oh the cursor is my curse
Take me out in the cool night air
Where I untie my helium prayers
And clear my mind when the world turns in reverse
Oh I wish I was in Tokyo tonight
Getting lost in a people sea
Where they tell the future in neon lights
And the city never sleeps
Run run run till you’re legs give out
Escape the wings of the shadow doubt
And overcome all the walls that keep me in
I’m old enough to be on my feet
But still too young to accept defeat
And in my heart I’m just waiting to begin
Oh I wish I was in Tokyo tonight
Getting lost in a people sea
Where they tell the future in neon lights
And the city never sleeps
Where I could feel so small
And all the pressure on my shoulders
Would weigh not much at all
When I’m just one in a million more
Oh I wish I was in Tokyo tonight
Getting lost in a people sea
Where they tell the future in neon lights
And the city never sleeps
Oh I wish I was in Tokyo tonight
Getting lost in a people sea
Where they tell the future in neon lights
