Mr Skiffington In Japan

[Verse 1] Mr Skiffington in Japan Folded map in his paper hand White socks, clean shoes, train so fast Bow to the day, let the moments pass Tea in a cup, and a borrowed grin Lost in the lanes, but he leans right in Tiny red stamp in his passport skin Mr Skiffington, let the trip begin [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he’s here for the sound Oh, he’s here for the shine Every wrong turn feels Like he found a sign [Chorus] Mr Skiffington in Japan Mr Skiffington, take my hand Past the shops and the rain-slick lane He says my name like a skipping train Mr Skiffington in Japan Mr Skiffington, that’s the plan Tiny bow, big grin, stay that way Mr Skiffington, don’t fade away [Verse 2] He buys a charm from a vending machine Moon on the pouch and a jade-green screen Sits with the kids at a noodle bar Laughs at the steam like it’s come from afar Postcard ink and a cherry tree He keeps one eye on what’s new to see If he gets lost, it’s a lucky event Mr Skiffington, fully present [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he’s here for the night Oh, he’s here for the view Every little thing Feels brighter through you [Chorus] Mr Skiffington in Japan Mr Skiffington, take my hand Past the shops and the rain-slick lane He says my name like a skipping train Mr Skiffington in Japan Mr Skiffington, that’s the plan Tiny bow, big grin, stay that way Mr Skiffington, don’t fade away [Bridge] [Breakdown] One more stamp One more stop One more laugh Before the lights all drop He keeps the calm He keeps the charm Mr Skiffington In my arms [Final Chorus] Mr Skiffington in Japan Mr Skiffington, take my hand Past the shops and the rain-slick lane He says my name like a skipping train Mr Skiffington in Japan Mr Skiffington, that’s the plan Tiny bow, big grin, stay that way Mr Skiffington, don’t fade away [Outro] Mr Skiffington Mr Skiffington In Japan In Japan
