Tokyo!
I know from all your lightbulbs that you know
The real deal when you see it — if you see it won´t you tell me so?
Oh we´ve come too far — too far to be so far apart.
Tokyo!
I see by all your lightbulbs that you know
That no matter how kind, love at times gonna take its toll.
Gonna crash it downtown, making sounds you ain´t heard before.
Oh we´ve come too far — too far to be so far apart.
Don´t let the things you hold on to ever outnumber the things you let go.
Don´t let the things you remember ever outnumber the things you live for.
Tokyo!
I know from all your movies that you know
the real deal when you see it — if you see it won´t you tell me so?
A brother is the future and a sister is a UFO
And she´ll come rising from the tide, running riot up and down your coast;
shooting lasers from her eyes, eating bystanders, sinking boats.
You don´t want to go down neither — tell me if you see her, Tokyo.
Oh we´ve come too far — too far to be so far apart.
I know from all your lightbulbs that you know
The real deal when you see it — if you see it won´t you tell me so?
Oh we´ve come too far — too far to be so far apart.
Tokyo!
I see by all your lightbulbs that you know
That no matter how kind, love at times gonna take its toll.
Gonna crash it downtown, making sounds you ain´t heard before.
Oh we´ve come too far — too far to be so far apart.
Don´t let the things you hold on to ever outnumber the things you let go.
Don´t let the things you remember ever outnumber the things you live for.
Tokyo!
I know from all your movies that you know
the real deal when you see it — if you see it won´t you tell me so?
A brother is the future and a sister is a UFO
And she´ll come rising from the tide, running riot up and down your coast;
shooting lasers from her eyes, eating bystanders, sinking boats.
You don´t want to go down neither — tell me if you see her, Tokyo.
Oh we´ve come too far — too far to be so far apart.
