Tokyo Lyrics - Cap'n Jazz

This is how it ended in Tokyo: 

Buildings rebuilt and billed to 

Anyone dumb enough to be standing there 

Thanksgiving day 

Tossing, eating, wearing pigskin worn thin 

Torn teethly like the scaredy cat sacred custom goes 

Sweet chicken little eating lolli pox treats for turkey day 

It's Salmonella City where we're worn thin 

Ordered to work in working order 

Bashful red shame and bold blue bruising whitey 

Hiding in houses looking like aching smiling faces 

And oh, 

The comfortable forts we used to build with cushions and blankets 

Matching a patched up pair like us 

Apparently it's a given, 

Given culture and all, 

We will break things just to call them broken 

Stained by this compulsion to ruin and name it art 

(Arthur to Adults 

"When you get caught between the moon and New York City..." 

(Christopher Kane?) 

Architects ache so they build 

Some subdivisions no matter how much pain or planning, 

No matter how much it matters, 

Some ugly houses sprout up in rows 

Look like structures of sad accidents and broken happy plans 

We named the clever chimp that picked up the first tool Adam 

We discovered we are really mostly just water 

We pretend about a past to justify right now 

We tell countless lies to make it through each day 

Keep on runnin', little bunny 

Keep on runnin' 

All the Duracell sold during the super bowl 

And my disease 

Such an easy disease contagious as a yawn 

My Why chromosome
