Lyrics:
Verse 1.
It’s the light, at the end of a neon railway
It’s the cross, in Shibuya take it your way
Deep in the clouds, there’s a serpent
A toll we’ll all have to pay
Stands a man on a ledge
Who begs to earn a set of new ways
It’s hardly sutto, island in the dragon’s shadow
Beyond the breaking wave there’s an after glow
Where the ashes fall
Chorus
Where the ashes fall
A geisha in the grip of tiger paws
Where the absinthe flows in the alley’s thrall
There’s a place for a dying hero in Tokyo
Living on a dream that I can’t let go
Where the nights just keep on giving
In the place I hang my soul, in Tokyo
Verse 2.
Sever the ties, who I once was will no longer be
In crowded streets
Beyond the sacred samurai gates
A calling card, your name in paint
On a matte white slate
Down a one way road, a cult, a code
That you’ll never escape
It’s hardly sutto, island in the dragon’s shadow
Beyond the breaking wave there’s an after glow
Chorus
Where the ashes fall
A geisha in the grip of tiger paws
Where the absinthe flows in the alley’s thrall
There’s a place for a dying hero in Tokyo
Living on a dream that I can’t let go
Where the nights just keep on giving
In the place I hang my soul…
Middle 8
A double life, secret love
Everything you’d ever want
You can sign yourself a new name
In the outline of a new frame
You can start again
Chorus
Where the ashes fall
A geisha in the grip of tiger paws
Where the absinthe flows in the alley’s thrall
There’s a place for a dying hero in Tokyo
Living on a dream that I can’t let go
Where the nights just keep on giving
In the place I hang my soul, in Tokyo
In Tokyo
In Tokyo
