Tokyo Storm Warning歌词

The sky fell over cheap
Korean monster-movie scenery
And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel
Between the
Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery
And I knew
I was in trouble but
I thought
I was in hell
So you look around the tiny room
And you wonder where the hell you are
While the
K.K.K. convention
Are all stranded in the bar
They wear hoods and carry shotguns
In the main streets of
Montgomery
But they're helpless here as babies'
Cause they're only here on holiday
What do we care if the world is a joke(Tokyo storm warning)
We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke(Tokyo storm warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke(Tokyo storm warning)
We're only living this instant
The black sand stuck beneath her feet
In a warm
Sorrento sunrise
A barefoot girl from
NaplesOr was it a
Barcelona hi-rise
Whistles out the tuneless theme song
On a hundred cheap suggestions
And a million false seductions
And all those eternal questions
What do we care if the world is a joke(Tokyo storm warning)
We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke(Tokyo storm warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke(Tokyo storm warning)
We're only living this instant
So they flew the
Super-Constellation
All the way from
RiminiAnd feasted them on fish and chips
From a newspaper facsimile
Now dead Italian tourists bodies
Litter up the
BroadwaySome people can't be told
You know they have to learn the hard way
Holidays are dirt-cheap in the
Costa del
MalvinasIn the
Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us
For Teresa is a waitress
Though she's now known as
JuanitaIn a tango bar in
Stanley or in
Puerto Margarita
She's the sweetest and the sauciest
The loveliest and the naughtiest
She's Miss
Buenos Aires in a world of lacy lingerie
What do we care if the world is a joke(Tokyo storm warning)
We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke(Tokyo storm warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke(Tokyo storm warning)
We're only living this instant
Japanese God,
Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes
For all we know and all we care they might as well be
MartiansThey say gold paint on the palace gates
Comes from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting protest singers
That they hardly mention us
While fountains fill with second-hand perfume
And sodden trading stamps
They'll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day
What do we care if the world is a joke(Tokyo storm warning)
We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke(Tokyo storm warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke(Tokyo storm warning)
We're only living this instant
We braved the cold
November air and the undertaker's curses
Saying, "Take me to the Folies BergereAnd please don't spare the hearses"
For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse
How you loved him 'til you hated him
And made him cry for mercy
He said, "Don't ever mention my name thereOr talk of all the nights you criedWe've always been like worlds apartNow you're seeing two nightmares collide"
What do we care if the world is a joke(Tokyo storm warning)
We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke(Tokyo storm warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke(Tokyo storm warning)
We're only living this instant
