november47 - tokyo+bound lyrics
verse 1
jumpin up, got down in a different land
waitin for my destiny – revealed like a card hand
royal flush, i just blush at this mystic country
thinkin life’s just a dream – now i’m in reality [wow!]
kickin back contemplatin how it’s s’posed to be
wonderin what this next life has for me
learning a lot, thinking a lot
maybe this will be hard
no harder than being black, sent behind bars
and runnin and duckin fast from cop cars
we live in a culture where we are far from equality
that’s right! i think i need a place to be me
and that’s um…
t-o-k-y-o, the best and…
t-o-k-y-o, it’s different from the rest
t-o-k-y-o is where i feel most blessed
no stress. and i see…
chorus 1
skyscr-pers all around me
[*background: follow this vibe all the way to tokyo]
the stars can’t seem to find me
[*background: as long as they were the good ones. and i would…]
the skytree lookin down on me
[*background: follow this vibe long as it doesn’t stir me wrong…]
the cars come and go around me
[*background: and leave me aimless…aimless…wonderin…]
i’m tokyo bound
verse 2
i got a whole lotta figuring to do
i came here thinking i was gonna find clues
but instead i found i was overdue
for cleanin out a closet full of broken tools
couldn’t fix my life lookin at my shoes
i had to look up just to see if it was blue
the sky taught me it was ok to choose
something other than being lost and confused
where could i possibly go from here now?
i burned all of my bridges so you could appear now, god
no religion but i’m calling your name
i’m one or two steps from certifiably insane [whooh!]
head spinnin, followed by blurred vision
alcohol overload, searchin for some attention
searichin for an extension
give me another day to figure out how to fit in
chorus 2
skyscr-pers all around me
[*background: follow this vibe all the way to tokyo]
the stars can’t seem to find me
[*background: as long as they were the good ones. and i would…]
the skytree lookin down on me
[*background: follow this vibe long as it doesn’t stir me wrong…]
the cars come and go around me
[*background: and leave me aimless…aimless…wonderin…]
i’m tokyo bound
