bruce cockburn - tokyo lyrics
they’re getting prepared to haul a car out of the river
noise and smoke and concrete seem to be going on forever
grinding gears and drivers getting high on exhaust
i’m thinking about the water down below and what got lost
pach-nko jingle and sp-ce torpedo beams
comic book violence and escaping steam
grey suited business men p-ssing against the wall —
cut to crumbling guardrail, slow motions car fall
oh tokyo — i never can sleep in your arms
mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
did you have to show me that accident scene
didn’t i get enough shaking up?
still i’m gonna miss you…
dragon of good fortune struggles with trickster fox
energy and patience and the power of the buck
tonight i’m flying headlong
to meet the dark red edge of dawn
i know somebody will be crying
and somebody will be gone
oh tokyo — i never can sleep in your arms
mind keeps on ringing like a fire alarm
me and all these other dice bouncing around in the cup
did you have to show me that accident scene
didn’t i get enough shaking up?
still i’m gonna miss you…
