(From the album "Humans")



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 the 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 -- (repeat chorus)
