Lyrics
Tokyo Rose

I took a trip across the ocean
I was looking for love
I close my eyes to feel emotion
Block the light from above
I made love to a slant eyed lady
Her eyes black as the night
She give to me the dream of passion
The heat of lust in her eyes
But in the morning
I woke up and I was alone
Stuck in the mirror, a note with her name
It was all that she wrote
Tokyo rose, you came to me in the night
Tokyo rose, come back to me, why don't you come back?
Tokyo rose, heaven should have let you go, no more
But in the morning
I woke up and I was alone
Stuck in the mirror, a note with her name
It was all that she wrote
Tokyo rose, you came to me in the night
Tokyo rose, come back to me, why don't you come back?
Tokyo rose, you came to me in the night
Tokyo rose, come back to me, why don't you come back?
