lyrics

Tokyo

I’ve never been to Tokyo
But if you want to take me
I’ll let you
I’ll let you
I’ve heard the sunset’s pinker over there

A rowboat we built just for two
We’ll get there in the afternoon
Don’t worry
Don’t worry
We can see the city lights from our hotel

And ooh…we’re gonna get lost at midnight
We’re gonna drink too much
We’re gonna run this town
Until the trains are all empty

I’ll serve you tea for breakfast
And you’ll kiss me on the corner
Mid-morning
Mid-morning
The traffic rushes by us just the same

I’ll race you to the arcade
Where we’ll spend our change on pinball
One more game
One more game
I’ll let you win to see your silly smile

And ooh…you can share my umbrella
I bought a brand new hat
From that cheap boutique
And I hope that you like it…
