City Lights of Tokyo
You better not wish for a summer breeze
If you know what to expect
You'll soon find out that there ain't no cloud
That can save you from yourself
You feelin' the eyes lookin' up surprised
Like you're a sight to behold
Be sure it's not fear of the common cold
You're a world not of their own
Gotta brace yourself, for the loudest silence that you've ever felt
A place where time will never slow down
Where the night sky will never ever come around
Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise
Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights
I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
False idols illuminate
Every corner of our world
You gotta climb high to escape their cry
The soft glow of their night
There's an aim to please everyone you know
In exchange for yourself
They live their lives self-sacrificing
With no promise of reward
Gotta brace yourself, for the loudest silence that you've ever felt
A place where time will never slow down
Where the night sky will never ever come around
Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise
Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights
I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise
Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights
I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
Bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
If you know what to expect
You'll soon find out that there ain't no cloud
That can save you from yourself
You feelin' the eyes lookin' up surprised
Like you're a sight to behold
Be sure it's not fear of the common cold
You're a world not of their own
Gotta brace yourself, for the loudest silence that you've ever felt
A place where time will never slow down
Where the night sky will never ever come around
Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise
Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights
I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
False idols illuminate
Every corner of our world
You gotta climb high to escape their cry
The soft glow of their night
There's an aim to please everyone you know
In exchange for yourself
They live their lives self-sacrificing
With no promise of reward
Gotta brace yourself, for the loudest silence that you've ever felt
A place where time will never slow down
Where the night sky will never ever come around
Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise
Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights
I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
Idols calling to be idolized, surprises come as no surprise
Longing for the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
The crowded streets and the empty eyes, the busy days and the early nights
I miss the, bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
Bright lights and the city sights of Tokyo
