Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Winter's cityside

Crystal bits of snowflakes

All around my head and in the wind

I had no illusions

That I'd ever find a glimpse of summer's heatwaves in your eyes

[PreChorus]

You did what you did to me

Now it's history, I see

Here's my comeback on the road again

Things will happen while they can

I will wait here for my man tonight

It's easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight

Big in Japan, be tight

Big in Japan

Ooh, the eastern sea's so blue

Big in Japan, alright

Pay, then I'll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Oh, when you're big in Japan

[Verse 2]

Neon on my naked skin

Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins

Shall I stay here at the zoo?

Or should I go

And change my point of view

For other ugly scenes?

[PreChorus]

You did what you did to me

Now it's history, I see

Things will happen while they can

I will wait here for my man tonight

It's easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight

Big in Japan, be tight

Big in Japan

Ooh, the eastern sea's so blue

Big in Japan, alright

Pay, then I'll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight

Big in Japan, be tight

Big in Japan

Ooh, the eastern sea's so blue

Big in Japan, alright

Pay, then I'll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Oh, when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight

Big in Japan, be tight

Big in Japan

Ooh, the eastern sea's so blue

Big in Japan, alright

Pay, then I'll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you're big in Japan

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight

Big in Japan, be tight

Big in Japan

Ooh, the eastern sea's so blue

Big in Japan, alright

Pay, then I'll sleep by your side

Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Oh, when you're big in Japan
