Testi

[Verse 1]
They're getting prepared to haul a car out of the river
Noise and smoke and concrete seems to be going on forever
Grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust
I'm thinkin' about the water down below and what got lost
[Verse 2]
Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams
Comic book violence and escaping steam
Gray-suited businessmen pissing against a wall
Cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motion car fall
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Dragon of good fortune struggles with the 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
[Verse 5]
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
