I am Tokyo I am here I am blazing lights On your street. I'm an upstart Bound to cross you I'm the hypocrite By your side She won't forget And I won't forget And no one around could tell us apart Cause we want out something And where something heart I am Tokyo I am here I am neon signs On your street I'm an army Of winter vines Marching over your countryside And she won't forget And I won't forget And no one around could tell us apart Cause we ruined something And where something heart. There's never enough time Only, only Glove off, something bridge. Pin prick to the heart Can it go I meant every spark And no one around could tell us apart Cause we ruined something And where something heart. We're burning through town Like there's nothing to lose Cause we something Something by heart... oh!
