I wanna look into a Japanese sky
I wanna see the neons glowing
climbing sky high
I wanna fall, flowing, over the edge of a dream
I want to slowly run out of steam
dressed in protocol
birthmark
benchmark
how can you finish
if you don't stop
if you don't start
there's always someone scurrying around
telling you your pain should be worrying
with theatrical refrain
giving you incentive
and feeding your disdain
though they never meant it
here it goes again
but you need to break out of your bubble
got to struggle
to get as far away as hubble
and for all my troubles
I'm still sinking mismeasured doubles
and for all my troubles
I'm still sinking mismeasured doubles
I huddle in my corner
which now seems so much colder
there must be somewhere warmer
cos I'm feeling so much older
gotta jump over that fence
and slam that broken gate
I count my copper pence
cos I know they're worth their weight in gold
I wanna look into a Japanese sky
I wanna see the neons glowing
climbing sky high
I wanna fall, flowing, over the edge of a dream
I want to slowly run out of steam
I wanna look
I wanna look
into a Japanese sky
