Tokyo by night

+ Show full styles

[Intro: Japanese koto synth hook with echo] [Powerful Simmons drum fill] [Main Euro-Disco synth riff enters] (Verse 1) [Soft breathy vocals] The silver moon is hanging over Shinjuku I’m walking through the rain and looking just for you A million neon signs are burning in the street I feel the magic and I feel the city’s beat (Verse 2) [Intimate soft tenor] You’re like a vision from a far and ancient land A secret message written on the golden sand The lotus flower blooming in the middle of the night I’m searching for the fire and I’m searching for the light [Chorus: High energy, soft vocals with stereo echo] Tokyo by night (Higher: Oh-oh-oh!) (echo: oh-oh-oh...) Looking for the light (Higher: My light!) (echo: my light...) Lady of the east (Higher: My love!) Your tenderness is like a golden feast Oh-oh-oh, my heart is calling you! (Verse 3) A thousand temples in the garden of the sun I’m chasing for the shadows, nowhere left to run The electric pulse is moving through the Ginza sky I’m looking for a reason and I’m looking for a lie (Verse 4) The silk umbrella and the ribbons of the blue I’ve sacrificed my lonely, broken soul for you A chrome reflection in the mirror of your eyes Beneath the velvet clouds and oriental skies (Verse 5) Don’t leave me standing in the middle of the rain I’ll find a medicine for all my lonely pain The tea is cold inside the porcelain of white I’m dreaming of the beauty in the middle of the night (Verse 6) I’ll build a fortress from the ivory and pine To be the hero if you only will be mine The stars are falling on the towers made of glass I watch the silent masquerade of spirits pass (Verse 7) The radio is playing a mysterious song I knew that loving you was never, never wrong A hidden path inside the labyrinth of stone I’m tired of being silent and I’m tired of being alone (Verse 8) I’ll take you higher than the mountains in the mist I’m dreaming of the lips that I have never kissed A golden fan is moving in your gentle hand A message from a far and distant land (Verse 9) The finish line is just a whisper in the wind Forgive me for the way that I have always sinned The clock is ticking on the mantelpiece of time I’m paying for the mountain I have had to climb (Verse 10) So hold me tighter as we walk the silent street I feel the rhythm of your oriental heartbeat Two hearts together on a one-way magic track We’re going forward and we’re not looking back [Bridge: Rhythmic Juno-60 synth solo with koto sounds] [Final Chorus: High energy, soft vocals with stereo echo] Tokyo by night (Higher: Oh-oh-oh!) (echo: oh-oh-oh...) Looking for the light (Higher: My light!) (echo: my light...) Lady of the east (Higher: My love!) Your tenderness is like a golden feast [Outro: Final Synth Riff with Lexicon echo] [Fade out with very soft vocal ad-libs: "Tokyo... baby... baby..."]
