Blurred vision and momentary loves
Kissed at the edge of the world
And fucked back to life
I couldn't remember your name
The passing faces were all the same
And I would hold you tight if I could just find my grip
In the allure of Tokyo's streets
It's seduction and pouty pink lips
I ached from the dizziness of the bright lights
Pined for a sign of the familiar to knock on my door
To say, "Hey, how's it going, sweetheart? Why don't you come this way?"
Have a seat and rest those pretty feet
(Those feet that have walked down many dirty roads)
Have another drink to forget yourself
The sweet lullaby of chilled white wine
The comfort of friends in low places
The only way we know how to be
Wandering to the south side of the city
Living hard and fast and too fucked up to care
We missed all the signs
Made too many turns
Sometimes we did it only because it was wrong
And we barely escaped the shit hitting the fan
We were hated by so many
They couldn't stop all their talking
But at twenty-something, we could only hear the calls of the open road
The promise of the sky
We thought we were invincible
And in a way, we are
Life hasn't caught up to us yet
Ready, run fast, love
And tell me your name once more
We will be alright.
