Tokyo
Written by Scott Wainwright
All the bright lights
All the loose ends
All the sleepless nights
With your pretty friends
And I am left with doubts
No extended arms
Compassion never calls
No healing psalms
Through these thin walls
And I can't see a way out
(chorus)
Tokyo
How were we to know
She would stoop so low
Friend becomes foe
Here in Tokyo
All the silly risks
On a high ledge
Until the luck shifts
On a knife edge
And I cannot figure it out
No kind words
Mercy never waits
Love is never heard
From behind closed gates
And I cannot even shout
(chorus)
Tokyo
How were we to know
She would stoop so low
Friend becomes foe
Here in Tokyo
(bridge)
How did we all get
So careless, so arrogant
How did we all become
So heartless, unrepentant
