ok ya see twas 1983 when we first walked arm in arm

across the sea it was my destiny that i met her in hong kong

there it was a soldier falls in love walked through lan kwai fong

limousines and new wave beauty queens and a romance just begun



ya tsunami was her name and like a title wave she came

and now i'll never be free



i was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami

just when you think the worst has past

she rises up to destroy me

just when you think it's safe to sail again

she rises up and then

i'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami



now some more twas 1984 tour of duty's almost over

i begged that girl to join me in my world but no man could control her



out of the south china sea tsunami rolled over me

and now i'll never be free



i was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami

just when you think the worst has past

she rises up to destroy me

just when you think it's safe to sail again

ya she rises up and then

i'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami



i told you bout europa and me

and how she haunted every memory

went round the world just to forget that song

to sing a new one for a girl in hong kong



and like a killer title wave she washed my heart away

and now i'll never be free



i was drowning in a wave of ecstasy tsu-tsu-tsunami

so long ago and far away she still rises up to destroy me

although she's half a world away

ya it feels like yesterday

i'm drowning in a wave a ecstasy

ya i'm drowning in a wave of ectasy tsu-tsu-tsunami

just when you think the worst has past

she rises up to destroy me

just when you think it's safe to sail again

ya she rises up and then

i was drowning in a wave of ectasy tsu-tsu-nami

tsu-tsu-tsunami

tsu-tsu-tsunami

ah ah ah oh

tsu-tsu-tsu-tsunami
