Lyrics

Tokyo

Take my hand

Rob me for a while of my sight

Don't let me stand

Here alone underneath the red light

Oh touch my face

Feel the fascination as love grows

Your embrace eases the pain that only Tokyo knows

Where were you when I was cold

And all the world was out to get me

Tokyo

Why can't I ever say no

Tokyo

Tokyo

Why can't I ever say no

Tokyo

Sense the chill

Of silent nights on my skin

Feel the thrill

As these four walls just cave in

Taste the rain

Splashes down on my roof

Seek in vain

For you will never know the real truth

This human heart beats much too fast

For comfort or for love in Tokyo

Tokyo

Why can't I ever say no

Tokyo

Where where you when I was cold

And all the world was out to get me
