Tokyo

(album: Captured - 1985)

I know a girl named Sue Yamaki
She's a street wise rebel of society
She had a lover who was twice her age
He controlled her mind, kept her body tame

They made love thru the heat of the night
What ever he desired without a fight
He was the vision of her fantasies
She was blinded by ecstasy

Tokyo wa
Kodo wa
Nai e desu
Tokyo wa
Notoe ko wa
Nai e desu

She was raised by her father's hand
Japanese tradition was the master plan
She didn't agree, ran away from home
Heading for the danger zone

She never knew love could hurt so bad
The reality of life nearly drove her mad
Her playing with fire was a dangerous game
That's when love turned into pain

She lost her pride and her dignity
For what she thought was life's ecstasy
(He said) I'll never leave but now he's gone
He left her all alone with a baby son

Tokyo wa
Kodo wa
Nai e desu
Tokyo wa
Notoe ko wa
Nai e desu
