Sign On at Midnight

Static on the bedroom wall,

Silver numbers start to glow.

Somewhere past the sleeping coast,

A signal finds the room below.

Turn the dial, hold it there,

Let the city come in clear.

Midnight opens like a door,

And Tokyo is almost here.

No passport for a frequency,

No map for where the night can go.

Just a voice above the rooftops Riding waves of stereo.

Sign on at midnight,

come alive, Through the ocean,

through the wire. If your lonely heart is still awake,

Let the skyline

tune it higher. Sign on at midnight,

stay with me, Past the static,

past the blue. This is Tokyo after hours,

Broadcasting only for you.

Headlights slip through avenues,

Vinyl clouds above the bay.

Every tower blinks in time,

Every window hums away.

DJ whispers, soft and low,

Keep your hands upon the night.

All the clocks forget themselves

Under fluorescent light. No address for a memory,

No name for what the moonlight knows.

Just a song across the water When the ordinary closes.

Sign on at midnight,

come alive,

Through the ocean, through the wire.

If your lonely heart is still awake,

Let the skyline

tune it higher. Sign on at midnight,

stay with me, Past the static,

past the blue. This is Tokyo after hours,

Broadcasting only

for you.

If you hear me,

don't let go. If you need me,

let it show.

Every city

has a secret, Every secret has a glow.

Sign on at midnight,

come alive, Let the rhythm pull you through.

All the distance turns to music

When the signal reaches you.

Sign on at midnight,

stay with me, Past the static,

past the blue. This is Tokyo after hours,

Broadcasting only for you.
