Josh Ritter - Tokyo! lyrics

Tokyo!
I know from all your lightbulbs that you know
The real deal when you see it if you
See it won't you tell me so?
Oh we've come too far too far
To be so far apart

Tokyo!
I see by all your lightbulbs that you know
That no matter how kind
Love at times gonna take it's toll
Gonna crash it downtown
Making sounds you ain't heard before
Oh we've come too far too far
To be so far apart
Don't let the things you hold on to
Ever outnumber the things you let go
Don't let the things you remember ever
Outnumber the things you live for

Tokyo!
I know from all your movies that you know
The real deal when you see it if you
See it won't you tell me so?
A brother is the future and a sister is a UFO
And she'll come rising from the tide
Running riot up and down your coast
Shooting lasers from her
Eyes, eating bystanders, sinking boats
You don't want to go down neither
Tell me if you see her, tokyo
Oh we've come too far too far
To be so far apart
