Lyrics
Life In Tokio
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's always something left inside him
I've really nothing much to lose
It seems so sentimental
Why should I care?
Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
Locked up in high society
It seems so artificial
Why should I care?
Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Another vehicle heads for sunset
No other providence will do
They're only buildings and houses
Why should I care
Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
Oh-ho-ho
Life can be cruel
Life in Tokyo
