lyrics

If ever you come around
down to tokyo
heed this warning well
and don't think twice
stay far from kinshicho

it lures with opportunity
twice that way I did go
looks just like a dream
topped with a bike riding
waving whistling sumo

downby nearby golden alleys
with quentin, wim and francis
at the jetty with a shapeshifting
girl i walked with
in kinshicho alleys

looked no longer like an old friend
she said does anyone know this man?
Pointing to me three
fists went flying
So was I through the window hightailing

and in the red sunned morning
I met the flag flying cutthroat
daylight robbery in the film lab
I was tongue-stunned
as he kept repeating

this is japan
he wrote his demands
it was all kanji
but I got the numbers
and the sign of the yen

I gave him what I had
Turned out every pocket
he said now piss off
don’t ever come back
in a thick old german accent

if you're ever in tokyo
remember whats been told
get your ass on the train
in double time if you find
yourself in kinshicho

goddamn you kinshicho
goddamn you kinshicho
you looked just like a dream
then sold mine down the drain
goddamn you kinshicho
