stacey kent - bullet train lyrics
[speaking j-panese]
your head against my shoulder
you’ve fallen asleep again
beside me on this dream train
they call the shinkansen
tokyo to nagoya
nagoya to berlin
sometime i feel i lose track
of just which hemisphere we’re in
and this town outside the window
looks like the one that we just p-ssed
they call this the bullet train
but it feels like we’re not moving
though i know we must be moving
yes, i know we must be moving, know we must be moving, know we must be moving pretty fast
that steward with his trolley
now going down the aisle
he was a schoolfriend from my hometown
i was in love with for a awhile
i thought i heard some talk
he settled in new york
became some kind of wall street super-lawyer
so why’s he looking so relaxed
serving beverages and snacks
on this train from tokyo to nagoya?
and why’s it taking so long
for the night to fall?
they call this the bullet train
but it feels like we’re not moving
tell me, are we really moving?
’cause it feels like we’re not moving, feels like we’re not moving, feels like we’re not moving at all
the man there on the platform
in the town we just came through
he looked exactly like the teacher
from way back in senior school
everybody loved him
a gentle, inspiring man
so what’s he doing out here
in nowheresville, j-pan?
there’s so much empty land
after all that urban sprawl
they call this the bullet train
but it feels like we’re not moving
it still feels like we’re moving
yes, it feels like we’re not moving, feels like we’re not moving, feels like we’re not moving at all
your head upon my shoulder
you’re fast sleep again
beside me on this dream train
called the shinkansen
tokyo to nagoya
nagoya to berlin
sometimes i’ve no idea of where i am
or where i’ve been
we’re so lucky to have found each other
in this world of steel and gl-ss
they call this the bullet train
but it feels like we’re not moving
tough i know we must be moving
yes, i know in truth we’re moving, know in truth we’re moving, know in truth we’re moving way too fast
i’m so glad you’re here beside me
on this bullet train
dreaming on my shoulder
let me hold you closer
on this bullet train
as the night grows colder
we’re headed to the future
on this bullet train
but are we growing older?
on the bullet train
on the bullet train
on the bullet train
on the bullet train
on this bullet train
on the bullet train
on the bullet train
on the bullet train
on this bullet train
on the bullet train
on the bullet train…
