miranda lee richards - tokyo dancing lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
tokyo’s all lit up and she is dancing
forever romancing more blood from the stone
on a bed of roses you were sleeping
their thorns kept you from dreaming
and that’s a pain you had learned to bare

[chorus]
we go back and forth we go ‘round and ‘round
i see the earth moving slowly as she turns
you know the truth can really hurt
but the pain is even worse when you
find yourself backed into a corner

[verse 2]
you had been searching for fossils in the canyons
the caves companion to the boys playing in the sun
before the beast arrives it gives me fair warning
it announced it was coming, but i chose not to run

[chrous]
we go back and forth we go ‘round and ‘round
i see the earth moving slowly as she turns
you know the truth can really hurt
but the lesson will surely be learned
come h-ll or high water

[verse 3]
here is a life that is shaped by choices
guided by voices and rules of thumb
on the steps of the church stood a statue of st. francis
back to your birthplace where the sister birds sing

[chorus]
we go back and forth we go ‘round and ‘round
i see the earth moving slowly as she turns
you know the truth can really hurt when the tables have turned
but i was always a good daughter

[verse 4]
shouting from the rooftops i see smoke and amber
those coal porter chambers telling tales of another life
sometimes i think of the mothers of soldiers no matter who our leader is
must we fight for gold or god?

[chorus]
we go back and forth
we go ‘round and ‘round i see the earth moving slowly as she turns
don’t let the child lead; they’ll shake the fruit from the tree
and all you will hear is their laughter
wonderin’ what’s in store for our future
