Down in Tokyo

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.

You became someone new

Black phoenix rising

Can you tell if we'll make it through?

(No-one will ever know)

Gettin' down and the phone will ring

Do you know who's calling?

Gotta laugh, gotta make 'em sing

(No-one will ever know)

Coz I haven't changed and yet nothing is the same

What we had seems to have gone and I can't get it back again

(Do they guess, do they see)

What is happening to me?

(Have they heard, do they know)

What went down in Tokyo?

(Do they guess, do they see)

What is happening to me?

(Have they heard, do they know)

What went down in Tokyo?

Coz I know...

Tear it up tonight

Gonna burn all night

Someone rescue me

Out Tokyo city

Tear it up tonight

Gonna burn all night

And the love you see

Will be a memory

On the streets of Shinjuku

Somebody's crying

Find a smile for the cameras

(No-one will ever know)

Coz you're gonna be a superstar

And the world will love you

Without seeing who you really are

(No-one will ever know)

Coz I'll never change if I swagger, if I sway

Drop the ball, lose it all, pick it up and start again

(Do they guess, do they see)

What is happening to me?

(Have they heard, do they know)

What went down in Tokyo?

(Do they guess, do they see)

What is happening to me?

(Have they heard, do they know)

What went down in Tokyo?

Tear it up tonight

Gonna burn all night

Someone rescue me

Out Tokyo city

Tear it up tonight

Gonna burn all night

And the love you see

Will be a memory

No-one will ever see

A secret close to me

A constant memory

No-one will ever see

A secret close to me

A haunting melody

(Do they guess, do they see)

What is happening to me?

(Have they heard, do they know)

What went down in Tokyo?

(Do they guess, do they see)

What is happening to me?

(Have they heard, do they know)

What went down in Tokyo?

Tear it up tonight

Gonna burn all night

Someone rescue me

Out Tokyo city

Tear it up tonight

Gonna burn all night

And the love you see

Will be a memory
