Tokyo Time Songtext
von Baton Rouge

Cut a perfect diamond
Out of sinking clay
Reach for my heart, it′s falling apart
It's all a big mistake
So many words unspoken
All lost into the fall
It′s headed for the dark, a powder and spark
The final curtain call

Cut a perfect diamond
Within a perfect lie
You and me we don't disagree
We're a hotel compromise
It isn′t hard to make a blind man see
We′re living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time


Once we had the answers
Once we had the key
Then came the rain, a thundering strain
A ghost ship on the sea
Try to understand
I don't know where it′s lost
I hold it inside, I swallow with pride
A fairy tale with cost

Once we had the answers
Now we have the light
You and me we don't disagree
We′re a hotel compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
We′re living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time

I've taken all I can
Ain't no beggar in a foreign land
And I′ve never had to hide
I′m never gonna miss you in Tokyo time
I thought we had a diamond
But all we have is ice

You and me we don't disagree
We′re a hotel compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
We′re living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time


You and me we don't disagree
We′re a hotel compromise
It isn't hard to make a blind man see
We're living on Tokyo time
Living on Tokyo time
