Graham Parker And The Rumour - Discovering Japan Lyrics

Discovering Japan Song Lyrics
Discovering Japan by Graham Parker and The Rumour Her heart is nearly breaking,
The Earth is nearly quaking
The Tokyo's taxi's braking,
It's screaming to a halt
And there's nothing to hold on to
When gravity betrays you
And every kiss enslaves you
She knows how hard her heart grows
Under the nuclear shadows
She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head
When after all the urges
Some kind of truth emerges
We felt the deadly surges
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
The GIs only use her,
They always ram right through her
Giving an eastern promise,
That they could never keep
Seeing a million miles,
Between their joke and smiles
She heard their hard denials
As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face
I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race
And as the flight touches down
My watch says 8:02
But that's midnight to you,
Midnight to you
Midight to you
I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions
I shouted sayonara
It didn't mean goodbye
But lovers turn to posers
Show up in film exposures
Just like in travel brochures
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
Discovering Japan
