Tokyo Afterglow

(ahhhh) Tokyo late night

Rain falls on the empty boulevard

We watch the headlights passing by

A quiet radio playing in the dark

Underneath a pale synthetic sky

You say we have to let it go this time

But we are frozen in the glass

And the signals fade away

Into the blue tonight

No more words to say

Lost in the midnight reflection

Walking the streets on our own Searching for real connection

Here in this city of stone

Can we rewrite the story we made?

Before the colors start to fade

Fast lanes and towers built of chrome

We trace the patterns in the grid

Nobody wants to be the first to go

Hiding the secrets that we hid

A distant echo of a summer tune Spinning around

in my head Lost in the midnight reflection

Walking the streets on our own Searching for real connection

Here in this city of stone

Can we rewrite the story we made?

Before the colors start to fade

(ohhhh) Into the blue Before we fade Midnight reflection
