The city's up at night
And I'm leaving on the mention of a name
I’m watching people as they change
I’m watching people fade away
We make the moves ourselves
We follow lines in the middle of the sea
We're painting pictures of a queen
The way they wanted it to be
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
When you sleep all day in a house where I know I am alone
I see the purpose come and go
I hear their voices in the cold
And in your magazines – they’re with people live in cities by the sea
Where the conscience is clear
It's anywhere but here
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
‘Cause they’re building houses and lights in Tokyo
