People say I'm no good Write me off, oh yes they should Fuck 'em they're just sick in the head They're writing my history Think somebody should've asked me Everyone was safe in their beds I won't live, won't live like them

My woman from Tokyo She makes me see She's so good to me Talk about her like a queen Dancing in a eastern dream Fly into the rising sun Faces, smiling every one Yeah, she is a whole new tradition I feel it in my heart

A man I'll never be You look up at me And somewhere in your mind you see If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am And it gets harder every day for me To hide behind this dream you see If I said what's on my mind You'd turn

I'm gonna change you like a remix Then I'll raise you like a phoenix Put on your war paint Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out? Wearing our vintage misery No, I think it looked a little better on me The war is won, before it's

I'm feelin' like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night Hey, man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time It can't get worse than yesterday Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind But somehow I'll survive Hey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day

And I don't have to tell you why Don't want to be on no rooftop Frying in the afternoon sun Don't want to sit by no fountain Listening to the man-made stream run Just want to stand where the sea-spray Gleams like fire with you Don't want to go to no

I thought I lost you! Let it begin! Nobody listens to me Don't hear a single thing I've said Say anything to soothe me Anything to get you from my head Don't know how really it feels To fake the days to make like I don't care Don't know how much it hurts
