Tokyo Lyrics - Rumours Of Glory - Bruce Cockburn

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 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 the 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
