Tokyo Road Lyrics
In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me.
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would...
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
I think this must be about a time they went to a brothel in Japan. Just a guess. A very strange song.
freakin rocks though. someone should translate the japanese at the beginning.
The song starts out with a Japanese song about the Cherry Blossom they are known for . The song is about a very young soldier who is experiencing things well beyond what he had ever seen before. "In a bar, breathing smoke Snorting whiskey, drinking coke" Too young to drink. "Just a boy, not a man Sent to war, in a land They said we'd fight for their freedom But I felt like a hired hand"-Vietnam war
He is longing for his youth again. Normalcy.
