Song language: English
Discovering Japan |
| Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking |
| The Tokyo’s taxi’s braking, it’s screaming to a halt |
| And there’s nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you |
| And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo |
| She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows |
| She can’t escape the feeling repeating in her head |
| When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges |
| We felt the deadly surges |
| Discovering Japan--an --an |
| Discovering Japan--an --an |
| The GIs only use her, they only ram right through her |
| Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep |
| Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles |
| She heard their hard denials |
| As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face |
| I wake up talking in the tongue of a different race, race |
| And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02 |
| But that’s midnight to you |
| Midnight to you |
| Midnight to you |
| I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions |
| I shouted sayonara it didn’t mean goodbye |
| But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures |
| Just like in travel brochures |
| Discovering Japan Discovering Japan |
| (x6 and fade) |
