| The sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie scenery
|
| And spilled into the reservoir of the crushed capsule hotel
|
| Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery
|
| And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell
|
| So you look around the tiny room and you wonder where the hell you are
|
| While the K.K.K. |
| convention are all stranded in the bar
|
| They wear hoods and carry shotguns in the main streets of Montgomery
|
| But they’re helpless here as babies because they’re only here on holiday
|
| What do we care if the world is a joke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’ll give it a big kiss
|
| We’ll give it a poke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| Death wears a big hat cause he’s a big bloke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’re only living this instant
|
| The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm Sorrento sunrise
|
| A barefoot girl from Naples or was it a Barcelona hi-rise
|
| Whistles out the tuneless theme song on a hundred cheap suggestions
|
| And a million false seductions and all those eternal questions
|
| What do we care if the world is a joke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’ll give it a big kiss
|
| We’ll give it a poke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| Death wears a big hat cause he’s a big bloke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’re only living this instant
|
| So they flew the Super-Constellation all the way from Rimini
|
| And feasted them on fish and chips from a newspaper facsimile
|
| Now dead Italian tourists bodies litter up the Broadway
|
| Some people can’t be told you know they have to learn the hard way
|
| Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas
|
| In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us
|
| For Teresa is a waitress though she’s now known as Juanita
|
| In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita
|
| She’s the sweetest and the sauciest
|
| The loveliest and the naughtiest
|
| She’s Miss Buenos Aires in a world of lacy lingerie
|
| What do we care if the world is a joke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’ll give it a big kiss
|
| We’ll give it a poke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| Death wears a big hat cause he’s a big bloke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’re only living this instant
|
| Japanese God-Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes
|
| For all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians
|
| They say gold paint on the palace gates comes from the teeth of pensioners
|
| They’re so tired of shooting protest singers
|
| That they hardly mention us
|
| While fountains fill with second-hand perfume
|
| And sodden trading stamps
|
| They’ll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day
|
| What do we care if the world is a joke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’ll give it a big kiss
|
| We’ll give it a poke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| Death wears a big hat cause he’s a big bloke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’re only living this instant
|
| We braved the cold November air and the undertaker’s curses
|
| Saying «Take me to the Folies Bergere and please don’t spare the hearses»
|
| For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse
|
| How you loved him until you hated him and made him cry for mercy
|
| He said «Don't ever mention my name there or talk of all the nights you cried
|
| We’ve always been like worlds apart now you’re seeing two nightmares collide»
|
| What do we care if the world is a joke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’ll give it a big kiss
|
| We’ll give it a poke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| Death wears a big hat cause he’s a big bloke
|
| (Tokyo Storm Warning)
|
| We’re only living this instant |
