Van Dyke Parks - Tokyo Rose Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In sight of the lights of Roppongi the night life of Tokyo goes
  • And out on the street with a beat from Tahiti a neon moon lollipop glows
  • A woman in silken pajamas is seen on the screen of a door
  • She slips on a ricepaper dress by Dior less the price of the ice on her
  • Clothes
  • The girl I call Tokyo Rose
  • Tokyo rose is blue
  • Tokyo knows it's true
  • What the night says we might like to do
  • We're in Tokyo time
  • When that moon turns lime
  • And the sky is a lavender brew
  • She trips through a door for hot sake
  • Unzips as her hips hit the floor
  • Her pearls were strung in the harbor below in a bar where I asked her for
  • More
  • Down on a Cajun veranda a Barbajian band in a stew
  • Was playing a soca when I reawoke we were back at her penthouse us two
  • I spoke of my love for MacArthur the man not the park in LA
  • But you're so much older she covered her shoulder
  • And I heard her say with a sigh
  • A soldier may never say die

  • Report error in lyric
