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
  
   Pachinko jingle and space torpedo beams
   Comic book violence and escaping steam
   Grey suited business men pissing 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 the 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 -- (repeat chorus)
