Life in Japan

I pour my sake Down the drain Can't stand the thought of Throwing up again I feel my heart Pound like the rain Thinking "this could nothing or This could be something" Train car is lurching Across the bay The faces in the seats Don't ever change Streetlights speed by Like the days Thinking "the world I come from Is lost beneath the waves" Life in Japan Can we make it Life in Japan It's what we wanted to be Life in Japan Can we shake it Life in Japan Ain't what I thought it would be Speakers blared out First call to prayer I marched to work Through crowds in Thatcher Square I saw you there in the crush And just stared Thinking this could be nothing or This could be something Is your heart beating Or pretend And does it even matter In the end Your smile's got the The perfect bend And your eyes are sparkling Behind the latest lens Life in Japan Can we make it Life in Japan It's what we wanted to be Life in Japan Can we shake it Life in Japan Ain't what I thought it would be Arithmetic has gone backwards Nothing adds up at all Drifting though a town I know And recognize nothing at all This could be All that I know Is behind us All that I know All that I know All that I know Life in Japan Can we make it Life in japan It's what we wanted to be Life in Japan Can we shake it Life in Japan Ain't what I thought it would be Can we make it It's what we wanted to be Can we shake it Ain't what I thought it would be I'm home
