Deep Purple - Woman from Tokyo lyrics
Your rating:
Fly into the rising sun, Faces, smiling everyone Yeah, she is a whole new tradition I feel it in my heart My woman from Tokyo She makes me see My woman from Tokyo She’s so good to me Talk about her like a Queen Dancing in a Eastern Dream Yeah, she makes me feel like a river That carries me away My woman from Tokyo She makes me see My woman from Tokyo She’s so good to me But I’m at home and I just don’t belong ... So far away from the garden we love She is what moves in the soul of a dove Soon I shall see just how black was my night When we’re alone in Her City of light Rising from the neon gloom Shining like a crazy moon Yeah, she turns me on like a fire I get high My woman from Tokyo She makes me see My woman from Tokyo She’s so good to me Mary Long Mary Long is a hypocrite She does all the things that she tells us not to do Selling filth from a corner shop And knitting patterns to the high street queue She paints roses, even makes them smell good And then she draws titties on the khazy wall Drowns kittens just to get a thrill And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ? Mary told Johnny not to write such trash Said it was a waste of public money She made a fuss, they made apologies But everybody thought the show was funny When the nation knew you’d had children It came as such a surprise We really didn’t know you’d had it in you How you did it we can only surmise How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ? Mary Long, you’re not alone But you’re a long way behind our times What we do in full frontal view Is more honest than your clean-up mind What I’m saying, Mary Long is When you can spare a minute Go find your friend the porny Lord Dig your self a hole and jump in it How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ? When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ? Super Trouper I was a young man when I died I was a flash, I was full of pride I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song How well you know me You’ve seen me cry I’m just a shadow In a rock and roll sky I was living in a rock and roll sky I was a king, heavy on the style Super trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine I couldn’t see what you did to me. I was so blind How well you know me You’ve seen me cry I’m just a shadow In a rock and roll sky I wanna be like I was before But this time I’m gonna know the score I need a home I can leave behind knowing you’re there Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare How well you know me You’ve seen me cry I’m just a shadow In a rock and roll sky
